The University of Connecticut (UConn) Health has honored neurosurgeon Ketan Bulsara with the 2025 Board of Directors Faculty Recognition Award.

He played a pivotal role in founding the UConn Health Brain and Spine Institute and establishing one of the nation’s few neurosurgery residency programs.
“It is my pleasure to celebrate and congratulate Dr. Ketan Bulsara on being prestigiously selected as the 2025 Board of Directors Faculty Recognition Award recipient. His strong leadership, innovative clinical care, impactful research, excellence in teaching, and devoted service to the people of Connecticut have taken neurosurgery in our state and at UConn to new heights,” said Bruce T. Liang, dean of the UConn School of Medicine
A pioneer in his field, Bulsara is among the first globally to complete dual fellowships in skull base/cerebrovascular microsurgery and endovascular neurosurgery. He has authored more than 220 peer-reviewed articles and three books. His work has reshaped understanding of spinal cord regeneration and arteriovenous malformations.
“I am humbled and grateful to receive this award. UConn Health is a very special place where the faculty, staff, and leadership are committed to providing care second to none while also training the next generation of physicians and transforming healthcare for the future. I am grateful to be a part of this exceptional organization. I sincerely thank the UConn Health Board of Directors for this special honor,” Bulsara said.
Born in India, Bulsara, immigrated to the United States from Zambia in 1983, graduated from Duke Medical School, where he received the “Ideal Physician Award.” He completed his residency at Duke and later trained under neurosurgery legends at institutions including the University of Arkansas and University of Iowa. He earned his MBA from Yale in 2017.
