Overview

  • Dr. Mark R. Harrigan grew up in Minnesota and received a B.S. degree in Economics from the University of Minnesota. He received an M.D. degree from the University of Washington in Seattle, Washington, in 1995. During medical school, he was the recipient of the American Federation for Clinical Research E.E. Osgood Award, the Roche Laboratories Award in Basic Science, and the American Medical Association Award for Outstanding Clinical Research.

    Dr. Harrigan then did his general surgery internship and neurological surgery residency at the University of Michigan Medical Center under the direction of Dr. Julian Hoff from 1995 to 2002. During his residency, he spent 18 months in the laboratory of Dr. Richard Keep studying cerebral blood flow and the effects of angiogenic factors on cerebral blood flow and ischemia. During this time he also participated in the introduction of clinical cerebral blood flow measurement techniques at the University of Michigan Medical Center, including xenon-CT and CT perfusion. He was the recipient of the Pharmacia Upjohn Research Fellowship in Cerebrovascular Disease, the Michigan Association of Neurological Surgeons Resident Award, and the Fifth International Conference on Xenon CT-CBF Young Investigator Award.

    Upon completion of his residency, he did a fellowship in Neuroendovascular Surgery at SUNY Buffalo under the direction of Dr. Nick Hopkins from 2002 to 2004. During this time he received the Sean Mullen Neuroendovascular Fellowship. Upon completion of his fellowship, Dr. Harrigan joined the faculty of the University of Alabama at Birmingham as an Assistant Professor of Neurosurgery and Radiology. There, under the mentorship of Dr. Winfield Fisher, he did a fellowship in Cerebrovascular Neurosurgery.

    Dr. Harrigan is the co-author, along with Dr. John Deveikis, of the Handbook of Cerebrovascular Disease and Neurointerventional Technique (Springer), which is in the 3rd edition. He is a regular speaker and panelist at the International Stroke Conference, the Congress of Neurological Surgeons and the American Associations of Neurological Surgeons meetings, among other. He has more than 140 peer-reviewed publications. He has served as the UAB site principal investigator in an array of NIH- and industry-sponsored clinical trials. His scientific focus is on stroke due to blunt cerebrovascular injury (BCVI), and he is the Co-Principal Investigator, along with Dr. Jan Jansen, of a proposal for a multicenter randomized trial for prevention of stroke in patients with BCVI currently being prepared for submission to the NIH. In addition, he is the Director of Neurointervention at UAB and also the Neurointerventional Fellowship Director.


    Dr. Harrigan's clinical practice includes the operative and endovascular treatment of cerebrovascular disease, as well as general neurosurgery and neurosurgical critical care. His clinical and research interests focus on cerebrovascular disorders. He is the UAB Site Principal Investigator for five multicenter clinical studies. He is active in resident education and was a recipient of a Top Ten Award for Excellence in Resident Education from the Department of Radiology. He is also the co-author, with Dr. John Deveikis, of the Handbook of Cerebrovascular Disease and Neurointerventional Technique.
