About Dr. Ali

Dr. Ali joins UChicago from Brown University Health, where he served as Chief Resident in the Department of Neurosurgery, followed by a spine fellowship at Harvard / Massachusetts General Hospital. He directs endoscopic spine neurosurgery at UChicago, specializing in minimally invasive endoscopic approaches that allow surgeons to reach the spine through very small incisions — reducing muscle injury, pain, and recovery time. He is a Stanford School of Medicine graduate and has published in NEJM AI, JAMA Surgery, and Nature Digital Medicine. As an OpenAI Trusted Partner and recipient of an Exceptional Health Research Grant, his work on AI-assisted informed consent and voice reconstruction has been covered by The Associated Press, NBC Nightly News, and The New York Times.
