Syed Ather Enam (born November 1961) is a Pakistani neuroscientist, a professor of neurosurgery at Aga Khan University, and founding president of Pakistan Society of Neuro-Oncology (PASNO).

Education and career

Enam honed his surgical expertise before returning to Pakistan to develop a state-of-the-art neurosurgery programme at the Aga Khan University. He has trained a new generation of surgeons for Pakistan.

The first awake craniotomy in Pakistan was performed by Enam. It is a type of procedure performed on the brain while a patient is awake and alert.

Enam is one of the editors of the book Surgical Education and Training in Pakistan: Creating a Model, which details how surgical training programmes can be improved in Pakistan and in other low-and-middle-income countries, based on learnings from the surgical training programmes at Aga Khan University over the past four decades.
