Andreas Nowacki, MD, is a specialist in neurosurgery and has been a senior physician at the Department of Neurosurgery at Inselspital, Bern University Hospital since 2020.

Andreas Nowacki completed his studies in human medicine in 2013 at the University of Tübingen, Germany. He then continued his training at the Department of Neurosurgery at Inselspital. Fascinated by the possibility of treating diverse diseases of the central nervous system by modulating neuronal networks using electrostimulation, he set his clinical and research focus very early in the field of functional neurosurgery and neuromodulation. In November 2015, he completed his PhD in the field of basic research of complex signaling systems

During a fellowship program accredited by the Royal College of Surgeons in Oxford, UK, in 2018, he was able to further deepen his knowledge in the field of functional neurosurgery and neuromodulation and gain in-depth expertise.

In 2019, Andreas Nowacki passed the specialist examination, and since 2020 he has been a senior physician at Inselspital. In 2023, he completed his habilitation in neurosurgery at the University of Bern.

Andreas Nowacki is a member of the European Association of Functional Neurosurgery. He is also a reviewer of several renowned scientific journals (including NeuroImage, Neuromodulation).
