NICIS-America is a two-day conference that brings together clinicians and scientists who share a common aspiration to translate discoveries in the neurosciences into effective patient-centered treatments. The 2017 conference will provide an overview of cutting edge research on precision medicine in neurocritical care and stroke.The conference speakers include thought leaders in molecular biology and genetics,proteomics, neurophysiologic monitoring and analysis, brain mapping, molecular imaging, statistical modeling, machine learning, predictive analytics, and advanced clinical trial design. The conference is designed for an interdisciplinary and multiprofessional audience of clinicians and investigators working in neurological injury, critical care and stroke. This includes basic and translational scientists, neuroscientists, intensivists, neurointensivists, neurologists, neurosurgeons, neuroanesthesiologists, neuroradiologists, physiatrists, psychiatrists, and neuropsychologists.

The Neuroscience in Intensive Care International Symposium in America (NICIS-America) builds on a highly successful conference and networking event held annually in Paris since 2010 (www.nicis.fr). The vision of NICIS is to provide a forum that will promote transformative advances in the care and science of patients with critical neurological illness and injury. NICIS brings together clinicians and scientists who share a common interest in translating discoveries in the neurosciences into better patient-centered outcomes.
