Leaders Break Ground on ANI’s Education & Research Center
Leaders officially broke ground on Arkansas Neuroscience Institute’s education and research center at North. The $17 million building will provide advanced neurosurgery care to patients in Arkansas, the United States and internationally.
Currently located at the Infirmary, ANI will relocate its surgical and clinical operations to the center at North by the end of this year. The education and research center will open its doors in early 2019 and will feature an expanded lab and classrooms, an auditorium, the ANI clinic and office space for the institute and other physicians. The lab will be the only one of its kind in the world, featuring a patented lifelike-teaching model developed by Dr. Emad Aboud, director of the lab.
ANI is led by Dr. Ali Krisht, who specializes in vascular microsurgery involving the treatment of aneurysms, arterio-venous malformations, cavernous sinus tumors and acute treatment of stroke.
Patients from 38 states and all 75 counties in Arkansas have been treated at ANI, a comprehensive program that incorporates all aspects of neurosurgery and a full spectrum of neurological disorders, such as skull-based surgery, vascular neurosurgery, neuro-oncology, spine and spinal cord surgery, epilepsy surgery and surgery for movement disorders.
