Dr. Michael Levitt is a fellowship-trained cerebrovascular neurosurgeon with a robust clinical practice and joint appointments in the University of Washington departments of Neurological Surgery and Radiology. He also holds an appointment at the University of Washington as adjunct faculty in the department of Mechanical Engineering.

As an investigator on multiple institutional, industry and NIH-funded grants, he has helped pioneer a translational approach to incorporating patient-specific imaging and physiological data into computer simulations of aneurysm hemodynamics, and has developed novel techniques for intraprocedural neuronavigation using preoperative imaging such as CT and MRI. As the Director of Clinical Operations for Proprio, he supports the scientific pathway between engineering research and direct patient care, overseeing the studies that will set the stage for clinical trials and commercialization.
