In 2015 Viviana Aureli completed an MD at the University of Siena, Italy, and began neurosurgery residency at the CHUV, Lausanne University Hospital. She has been a Swiss certified neurosurgeon since 2022.
Passionate about functional neurosurgery, she is now pursuing a research fellowship in translational science, focusing on spinal cord repair and hoping to be able one day to apply these discoveries to patients.
