Steven A Robicsek, MD, PhD

My name is Steven Robicsek and I am a professor of anesthesiology, and joint professor of neurosurgery and neuroscience. I am also the Medical Director of Intraoperative Neuromonitoring (NIOM) at UF Health and the Director of the Neuroanesthesiology Fellowship program. I joined the UF Department of Anesthesiology as an assistant professor in 2001. I earned a master’s degree in medical sciences and PhD in pharmacology and therapeutics from the University of South Florida. After receiving a medical degree from George Washington University in Washington, D.C., I completed my anesthesiology residency and neuroanesthesiology fellowship here at the University of Florida.

In 2008, I became the principal investigator of a five-year RO1 NINDS grant to elucidate and characterize neuronal biomarkers (Svingos et al. 2022, Mondello et al. 2012, Brophy 2010, Papa et al. 2010, 2008) and pathophysiology (Tóth et al. 2015) in severe traumatic brain injury. Additional research and clinical interests include advanced cardiac (ACLS) and advanced trauma life support (ATLS), autoregulation (Small et al. 2022), neurophysiologic monitoring (Levy et al. 2023, Rabai et al., 2022, Robicsek et al. 2017), traumatic brain injury pathophysiology Tóth et al. 2015, neuroprotection strategies, embolic and hemorrhagic stroke (Hoh et al. 2023, Vlisides et al. 2020, Mashour et al. 2014), postoperative urinary dysfunction (Porsche et al. 2024, 2023, 2021), perioperative fluid management, postoperative visual loss (Lee et al. 2012), endovascular repair of thoracic and abdominal aortic aneurysms (Berg et al. 2021), venous air embolism (Hooper A et al. 2009), neuropharmacology (Mahanna et al. 2013, LeClaire et al. 2013, Robicsek et al. 1992, 2004, 2008), intracellular second messenger regulation of lymphocytes (Robicsek et al. 1991, 1990) and international medical outreach (www.heineman.org).
