Bio

Kaustubh Limaye, MD, is an associate professor of clinical neurology, clinical neurological surgery and clinical radiology and imaging sciences at the Indiana University School of Medicine. He is board-certified in vascular neurology and neuroendovascular surgery and specializes in management of subarachnoid hemorrhage, unruptured aneurysms, carotid stenosis, ischemic stroke and intracranial hemorrhage.

Limaye's belief, “the best way to learn is to teach,” has been instrumental in him taking up teaching, since the days of being a house staff. His teaching skills have been well appreciated by medical students, residents and fellows at various medical schools that he has had the good fortune to be associated with.

He has won the Resident Teacher of the Year and Resident of the Year awards at University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. Limaye was also honored with the Faculty Educator of the Year award at the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine and with the prestigious A.B. Baker Teacher Recognition Award by the American Academy of Neurology.

Limaye has authored and co-authored more than 100 peer-reviewed scientific journal articles and book chapters that have been published in some of highest impact factor journals in the field on cerebrovascular diseases. He has been invited as a panelist, moderator and speaker for local, national and international meetings. He was elected as the chair of the American Academy of Neurology’s Endovascular and Interventional Section, which he also previously served on for two years as a vice chair. He currently serves as the national principal investigator for PROMISE (PROspective Study on Management of Ischemic Stroke Secondary to mEvo Registry). He also serves as a principal investigator for many other national clinical trials.

Limaye became interested in caring for stroke patients after being inspired by his grandfather. He saw what difference it makes with difficulties in triage, especially in developing countries. Inspired by his grandfather’s post-stroke struggle, he decided to train as a vascular and an interventional neurologist and neuroendovascular surgeon.
