Dr. Bon Verweij earned his medical degree from Leiden University and completed a neurosurgery residency at the University Medical Center Utrecht (UMCU), where he was awarded a two-year vascular fellowship from the Dutch Brain Foundation. He continued at the UMCU for 20 years with clinical focus on vascular, trauma, and craniofacial reconstruction. He worked at two of the busiest trauma centers in the United States: the Detroit Medical Center and UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento, California. He completed a PhD on Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Neurotrauma. His research is focused on vascular neurosurgery and the integration of innovative cutting-edge technologies, such as 3D printing, VR/ AR and AI, to enhance patient outcomes and safety—an interest sparked by his training as a pilot. He is dedicated to teaching. He served as the first Chair of the EANS Young Neurosurgeons Committee and enjoys engaging the public through lectures, including a TEDx talk, to make science more accessible and inspiring.
