anticorpi monoclonali diretti verso il polisaccaride
degli streptococchi di gruppo B di tipo III°;

infezioni sperimentali con streptococchi di gruppo B di tipo III°
-L’identificazione dei recettori cellulari coinvolti nell’interazione con microrganismi gram-positivi e gramnegativi responsabili di severe infezioni nell’uomo.
-L’dentificazione delle vie di trasduzione del segnale attivate da diversi agenti patogeni.
-Lo studio degli effetti conseguenti all’interazione con cellule del sistema immunitario di componenti
strutturali del Cryptococcus neoformans, uno degli agenti patogeni maggiormente coinvolti nella mortalità da
Aids.

SHORT BIOGRAPHY
Professor Andreas Raabe went to medical school in Jena and Dresden and received the
highest grades in his graduating class, for which he was awarded the “Academy Prize”.
He trained in Neurosurgery from 1990 to 1996 in Chemnitz, during which time he also
received a visiting resident grant at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich and
performed clinical observerships in Mainz, Würzburg, Cambridge, Zürich and
Copenhagen. He passed the European Board Examination and the national board
examination in Neurosurgery in 1996.
After receiving a German Research Foundation grant he went to Cambridge, England
and returned to the University of Leipzig in 1997, where he was an associate professor
in the group of Prof. Volker Seifert. In 1999 he was appointed vice chairman at the
University of Frankfurt/Main. He was awarded the “Wilhelm-Tönnis” grant of the
German Society of Neurosurgery for a clinical observership at the Barrow Neurological
Institute (BNI) in Phoenix, USA.
Prof. Raabe became Chairman and Professor of Neurosurgery at the Inselspital,
University of Bern, Switzerland in 2008.
His main scientific focus is the development of innovative techniques for protection of
brain structures and function during surgery. His main clinical focus is microsurgery of
tumors, aneurysms, vascular malformations and spinal degenerative diseases.
Prof. Raabe has published more than 200 original scientific papers, review articles or
technical notes and is author of several book chapters.
Andreas Raabe is married and has a 17-year old son and a 22-year old daughter.

Dr. Jacques Morcos is a Professor and Co-Chairman in the Department of Neurosurgery at the
University of Miami, with a joint appointment in the Department of Otolaryngology. He is
currently Director of Cerebrovascular, Skull Base, Endoscopic, and Pituitary Surgery at the
University of Miami. He is Division Chief of Cranial Neurosurgery at Jackson Memorial
Hospital and Director of the Skull Base and Cerebrovascular Fellowship Program. He obtained
his Medical Degree from the American University in Beirut, Lebanon in 1985, and then spent
four years in England, including spending time as Registrar at the National Hospital for
Neurological Diseases at Queen Square and Maida Vale in London. During this time, he won
the Henry Arthur Dalziel Ferns Prize from the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh,
Scotland, "for the most outstanding candidate in the worldwide Primary FRCS examinations for
the year 1987/1988 among more than 1,400 candidates”. He then moved to the USA and
completed neurosurgical residency at the University of Minnesota from 1990 to 1994, where he
won the Peyton Society Award, “for ranking 1st in the USA on the American Board of
Neurological Surgery (ABNS) written exam of 1993”. He then completed a six month
Fellowship at the University of Florida under Dr Arthur Day in Cerebrovascular Surgery, and
then a second Fellowship at the Barrow Neurological Institute 1994/1995 in Cerebrovascular and
Skull Base Surgery under Dr Robert Spetzler. He joined the Department of Neurosurgery at the
University of Miami in 1995 where he has been ever since. His range of clinical expertise
includes all skull base and complex brain tumors, endoscopic skull base surgery, and all aspects
of cerebrovascular surgery including bypass surgery for complex aneurysms.
Dr. Morcos is very active in organized and academic neurosurgery, nationally and
internationally. He is past Chair of the Joint AANS/CNS Section on Cerebrovascular Surgery,
past Chair of the Society of University Neurosurgeons (SUN) and past Chair of the World
Association of Lebanese Neurosurgeons (WALN). He is currently President-Elect of the North
American Skull Base Society. He is very involved in the WFNS (World Federation of
Neurosurgical Societies) where he is Chair of the Cerebrovascular Committee and Continental
Second Vice President representing North America. He was Scientific Chairman of the WFNS
14th World Congress of Neurological Surgery which was held in Boston in 2009. He is past
Chair of the International Outreach Committee of the AANS and past member of the AANS
Nominating Committee. Among his other commitments, he is member of the Congress of
Neurological Surgeons, WFNS delegate of the American Academy of Neurological Surgery,
member of the Senior Society, the International Advisory Board of the Asian Oceanian Skull
Base Society, and several other societies. He is a reviewer on several Editorial Boards, including
“Journal of Neurosurgery” and “Neurosurgery”. His most recent awards include being selected
by US World and News Report (top 1% of US physicians, 2015), Patients’ Choice Award (top
5% of US physicians, 2015) and International Who’s Who of Professionals (2015).
Dr. Morcos enjoys being involved in all educational aspects of cerebrovascular and skull base
surgery, nationally and internationally. He is dedicated to teaching, and has led and participated
in numerous courses and symposia over the years. He has been invited to give more than 450
national and international presentations, 50 Visiting Professorships/Guest Lectureships and has
led numerous practical hands-on courses and symposia. He greatly enjoys trips with his family,
his wife Fiona and their three college age/high school age children. His hobbies include alpine
