Bio: Aaron Sean Dumont was born in Abbotsford, British Columbia, Canada. After finishing undergraduate studies at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada, he was accepted into medical school at the University of Calgary at the age of nineteen. Through good fortune, he was introduced to Dr. John Jane, Sr. and rotated at the University of Virginia as a visiting medical student. He went on to complete his internship, residency in Neurosurgery and fellowship in Cerebrovascular, Cranial Base and Endovascular Surgery at the University of Virginia.
As of 2007, Dr. Dumont is an Assistant Professor of Neurosurgery and Radiology, Co-Director of Cerebrovascular, Endovascular and Skull Base Surgery, Vice Chair of Research and Academic Affairs for the Department of Neurosurgery and Assistant Director of the Neurosurgical training program. His clinical practice is largely focused on disease of the cerebral and spinal vascular systems as well as pathology of the skull base, although Dr. Dumont is also interested in neuro-Oncology, complex spinal surgery and general neurosurgery.
Dr. Dumont’s research efforts primarily focus on diseases of the cerebral vascular system. He is presently investigating the role of inflammation in cerebral vasospasm following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), cerebrovascular smooth muscle biology, the biology of intracranial aneurysm formation, growth and rupture and endovascular device and technology development. He is the principal investigator for the University of Virginia in the NIH-funded ARUBA study for unruptured brain AVM’s and serves on the Clinical Events Executive Committee for the upcoming multi-center, prospective, randomized CONSCIOUS-2 study investigating an endothelin antagonist for the prevention of vasospasm following SAH.
At completion of his fellowship and residency, Dr. Dumont had published approximately 80 peer-reviewed manuscripts, more than 40 publication comments and letters, 15 book chapters and had made more than 75 scientific presentations at regional, national and international meetings. He has been a member of the Editorial Board of Stroke for the past 2 years, is a reviewer for eighteen academic journals and has been an external reviewer for the Canadian Institutes for Health Research Grants Committee.
Dr. Dumont is a Fellow of the American Heart Association (FAHA) and is a member of the Congress of Neurological Surgeons (CNS), American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS), the International Society for Cerebral Blood Flow and Metabolism, the AANS/CNS Tumors, Cerebrovascular and Neurotrauma and Critical Care Sections, the North American Skull Base Society, the American Society of Interventional and Therapeutic Neuroradiology (ASITN), American Heart Association (AHA) Stroke Council, AHA Council on Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology, AHA Interdisciplinary Working Group on Functional Genomics and Translational Biology and the International Atherosclerotic Society.
Dr. Dumont is married to Michelle Kidd of Lynchburg, Virginia. The Dumont’s have 2 sons and 1 daughter and very much enjoy residing in Charlottesville.
