Dr. David Greer is Professor and Chair of the Department of Neurology at Boston University School of Medicine and the Richard B. Slifka Chief of Neurology at Boston Medical Center. He has been a neurointensivist since 2001, having trained at Massachusetts General Hospital, where he began his career.

He helped create the NCS Brain Death Toolkit, and has previously served the Neurocritical Care Society on both the Board of Directors and the Executive Committee, and is the current Secretary for NCS.

 

His research interests include predicting recovery from coma after cardiac arrest, brain death, and multiple stroke-related topics, including acute stroke treatment, temperature modulation and stroke prevention. He is the co-PI for the INTREPID study, evaluating fever prevention for acute vascular brain injury, and is an R01-funded investigator evaluating multi-modality imaging and EEG for assessing neuroprognosis after cardiac arrest. He was the lead author for the World Brain Death Project, and the lead author for the 2023 AAN Practice Parameters in Brain Death.

 

Dr. Greer’s greatest passion is in education in mentorship. In 2022, he received the prestigious A.B.

He has mentored innumerable students, residents, fellows and faculty, and considers himself a “lifelong mentor” for anyone and everyone he takes under his wing.
