Nerissa Ko, MD, MAS

Professor
School of Medicine

Nerissa Ko is a Professor of Neurology and spends her time clinically caring for adult patients in the Neurointensive care unit. Her research focus in on improving outomes among patients who suffer from strokes, specifically after brain aneurysm rupture. After completing her training at UCSF, she remains committed to the education and training of our futureleaders in her role as Fellowship program Director and Vice Chair for Diversity in the Department of Neurology. After attending a CSW-sponsored event focused on work-life balance, she joined CSW to become an active participant in supporting the community of women at UCSF. She remains a strong advocate for gender equity in her leadership role.
