GNA FOUNDER

Welcome to the Global Neurosurgical Alliance! My name is Albert Alan, the founder of this platform. My inspiration to create this hub sprang from the rich diversity and wealth of knowledge I encountered at the 4th International Neurosurgery Residency Course in Penn State. It was a revelatory experience, one where I recognized the immense potential that could be harnessed by fostering a global community of neurosurgeons.


As an aspiring academic neurosurgeon, I envisioned a platform where both budding and established neurosurgeons from every corner of the globe could enhance their research productivity. More than that, I dreamed of creating a guiding beacon for those intending to practice here in the United States.


Our mission at GNA is to unite, to inspire, and to push the boundaries of our field by asking the difficult research questions. In doing so, our ultimate goal is to ensure the highest quality of care for our patients, who stand to benefit most from our collaborative efforts.


Together, we can bring about change and make significant strides in the field of neurosurgery. Welcome to the GNA family – let's journey this path together, and shape the future of neurosurgery.
