Professor of Surgery and Bioengineering
University of Florida
Dr. Scott Berceli is currently Professor of Surgery and Bioengineering at the University of Florida, Chief of Vascular Surgery at the NF/SG VHS. He received his B.S. in Chemical Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, followed by his M.D. and Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Pittsburgh. He then completed his residency in General Surgery at the Harvard-Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and subspecialty training in Vascular Surgery at the University of Washington. Current basic and translational research activities, funded by the NIH, NSF, and the VA, examine the role of physical forces in vascular adaptation following surgical or endovascular intervention. Through development of a multidisciplinary team involving engineers, vascular biologists, mathematicians and clinicians, he has brought a multi-scale, systems level understanding to the dynamics of vascular remodeling, with an emphasis on understanding these events in human pathology.
