Dr. Hanley is a graduate of Williams College and Cornell
University Medical College. His board certification
is in Internal Medicine as well as Neurology and Psychiatry. He
is the founding Director and led for 17 years a combined
Neurosurgery and Neurology Critical Care Unit at The Johns
Hopkins Medical Institutes. This unit became the regional
center of excellence and an internationally recognized academic/research
model. Dr. Hanley is also a Professor of Neurology,
Neurosurgery, and Anesthesiology/Critical Care Medicine
at The Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions. In addition,
he is Professor of Nursing at The Johns Hopkins School of
Nursing, and presently directs the Brain Injury Outcomes
program at The Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions. He has
significant experience in development of nationally recognized
academic and training programs for physicians as well as
nurses.
As the Jeffrey Harriet Legum Professor of Acute Care Neurology,
his expertise is in the area of acute brain disorders including:
stroke, brain hemorrhage, coma and brain infections. This
includes the emergency management, preoperative, postoperative
and long-term care of severe brain disorders. In addition,
Dr. Hanley has a 21-year research background in Neuroscience
Research. Specific areas include: basic physiology
of circulatory regulation (particularly cerebral circulation),
basic mechanisms of hypothalamic hormone regulation and
release, as well as the investigation of normal and abnormal
patterns of brain electrophysiologic response to injury.
He has particularly focused on brain injury from cardiac
arrest. This experience applies directly to clinical
pharmacology and clinical physiology in clinical trials
involving traumatic, ischemic, hemorrhagic and infectious
disorders of the brain.
His clinical practice is in the area of acute brain disorders. This
has involved the primary care of patients undergoing intensive
care treatment and monitoring for these brain disorders. Dr.
Hanley sees between 500-1000 new patients per year in the
intensive care unit. He is recognized as an
expert in the areas of acute care for stroke, brain hemorrhage,
subarachnoid hemorrhage, cardiac arrest, coma, intracranial
hypertension bacterial and viral brain infections. In
addition he cares for acute disorders of the spinal cord
and peripheral nervous system producing paralysis and ventilator
dependency, and has broad international experience.
He has extensive experience in clinical pharmacology trials
and monitoring for safety/efficacy. He has received
more than 20 basic research grants, predominantly
from the National Institutes of Health, and he contributes
to the scientific literature and has published more than
100 articles in peer reviewed journals. His practical
experience extends to commercial drug and device development,
clinical practice organizations, model program development
and fund raising. Additionally, he has received
multiple training awards directed at developing physician
and nursing academicians. He has edited five books
and monographs on subject of acute brain injury.
Dr. Hanley is a member of the American Academy of Neurology,
American Neurological Association, American Physiologic
Society, and the Society of Critical Care Medicine. He
has received The Alexander Humboldt Research Prize for his
accomplishments in Brain Injury Research. He founded
the critical care neurology section of the journal Critical
Care Medicine and he is Associate Editor for this journal
section. He is also associate editor for Stroke
(Section Emergency and Critical Care), and edits materials
for several peer reviewed journals and hold important leadership
roles in one major professional association and one national
public service association. He has developed nationally
recognized education and model care delivery programs for
the National Stroke Association.
