We extend our warmest congratulations to Albert Isaacs, MD, PhD on his recent success as the recipient of the 2024 Epidemiology Challenge Award from the Hydrocephalus Association Network for Discovery Science (HANDS) to investigate:
Comprehensive Epidemiological and Economic Assessment of Non-Normal Pressure Adult Hydrocephalus (NNPAH) in the United States
Dr. Albert Isaacs is an Assistant Professor in Genomic Medicine at The Research Institute at Nationwide Children’s Hospital. His study aims to estimate how many people have non-NPH adult hydrocephalus, identify patterns across different age groups and causes, and explore the economic burden, including medical expenses, lost income, and costs related to disability. The results of this study will help doctors, patients, and policymakers improve care, support earlier diagnosis, and develop better treatment strategies to reduce the condition’s impact on individuals and the healthcare system.
He is also a member of the SRHSB Executive Committee and the primary organizer and host of the SRHSB Columbus 2025 meeting; see https://srhsb.com/columbus-2025/.
Well done Albert on receiving this very prestigious award, and we wish you every success with the study!
