We are pleased to announce that Tudor G. Jovin, MD, has joined Cooper University Health Care as Medical Director of Cooper’s Neurological Institute and Chair of the Department of Neurology.
Dr. Jovin is an expert in interventional and non-interventional treatment for the entire spectrum of stroke and cerebrovascular disorders. He is board certified in neurology as well as vascular neurology and critical care neurology. He was one of the nation’s first interventional neurologists, a medical subspecialty that uses minimally invasive technologies applied from within the vessels to diagnose and treat diseases of the arteries and veins of the head, neck, and spine such as acute stroke, carotid stenosis, intracranial aneurysm, and arteriovenous malformations.
In addition to his clinical experience, Dr. Jovin is known internationally for his research activities. He has served as principal investigator for several international clinical studies, including two landmark studies in the development of treatments for acute stroke that have been published in the New England Journal of Medicine. He serves as an editorial board member for numerous medical journals, and has published more than 300 articles in peer-reviewed journals or book chapters. Recently published studies have identified Dr. Jovin as the highest-impact author in the neuro-interventional field.
Prior to joining Cooper, Dr. Jovin was a professor of neurology and neurosurgery at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and director of the Center for Neuroendovascular Therapy at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC). At UPMC, he also served as the director of UPMC’s Stroke Institute, one of the leading centers for stroke care, education, and research in the world.
