Biography
Dr. Jerome Jeevarajan grew up in Clear Lake City, just outside of Houston, Texas. He graduated from Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois with a degree in Biomedical Engineering. He then attended medical school at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, Texas, and then completed Neurology Residency at UTHealth Houston where he also served as chief resident from 2021 to 2022. Finally, he completed his Vascular Neurology Fellowship at UTHealth Houston in 2023. He is a clinician-scientist focused on the application of data science and brain imaging analysis to the care of patients with acute brain injuries, and he also loves to teach students and trainees. His hobbies outside of medicine include traveling to national parks, driving, and exploring restaurants with family and friends.
