Bederson joined Mount Sinai in 1992 as the Director of the Clinical Program for
Cerebrovascular Disorders and served as Vice-Chairman after 2001. From 2002 until 2008 he directed the Neurosurgery Residency Program. He is currently the System Chair of Neurosurgery at The Mount Sinai Health System.
Bederson established the first basic science laboratory in the Department of Neurosurgery at Mount Sinai, developing models of stroke and
subarachnoid hemorrhage. In 2002 he was the first neurosurgeon at Mount Sinai to receive an
NIH R01 grant as principal investigator.[4]
A high-ranking member of many neurosurgical and cerebrovascular societies, Bederson is chair of the AANS/CNS Cerebrovascular section.[6] With Bederson serving as its Chairman, the
American Heart Association Guidelines Writing Group on Subarachnoid Hemorrhage published
updated guidelines on stroke treatment. He is also a member of the Society of Neurological Surgery.[5]
During his surgical internship, he met and married Isabelle Germano, M.D. who is also Professor of Neurosurgery at Mount Sinai.[5][7] They have two daughters.[5]
