Dr. Edoardo Agosti is a neurosurgeon and PhD candidate at the University of Brescia, Italy. Currently a PGY5 resident in the Division of Neurosurgery, his main interests focus on skull base and cerebrovascular pathologies, with particular expertise in endoscopic endonasal surgery. He has received advanced international training, including research fellowships in skull base and neurovascular surgery at Mayo Clinic (USA) and observerships in Paris under Prof. Froelich. Dr. Agosti is an active member of the Italian Society of Neurosurgery and the Italian Skull Base Society, has served as an ad hoc reviewer for international journals, and was awarded the Beretta Foundation research grant in 2021 for cerebral oncology research.
