Daniel Louis Barrow graduated magna cum laude from Westminster College and received his M.D. degree from Southern Illinois University School of Medicine. Dr. Barrow completed his general surgery internship and neurosurgical residency at Emory University affiliated hospitals and obtained his neurology training at Massachusetts General Hospital.

Upon completing his neurosurgical residency, he did a fellowship in cerebrovascular surgery at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. He is currently the MBNA/Bowman Professor and Chairman of the Department of Neurosurgery at Emory University School of Medicine. In 1998, he was appointed to the Board of Directors of the Emory Clinic, Inc.

Dr. Barrow has authored more than 200 scientific articles and chapters in medical textbooks. He has authored or edited twelve monographs, including a major textbook of neurosurgery, The Practice of Neurosurgery. He has been a visiting professor at major universities throughout the United States, Europe and Asia. His research interests have focused on cerebrovascular disease and stroke.

During his career in medicine, he has won many awards, including induction into the honorary medical society, Alpha Omega Alpha. He has been named in Who's Who in America and has been chosen by his peers to appear in the publication, The Best Doctors in America. In 1997, Dr. Barrow received the Distinguished Alumnus Award from Southern Illinois University School of Medicine, one of only four recipients of this prestigious honor. In 1998, he received the Alumni Achievement Award from Westminster College.

Dr. Barrow has been active in organized neurosurgery, holding a variety of leadership and editorial positions. He has been on the Executive Committee of the Congress of Neurological Surgeons (CNS) in 1989 and served as Scientific Program Chairman (1991), Annual Meeting Chairman (1992), Secretary (1992-1995), and President (1999-2000). He was President of the Georgia Neurosurgical Society and member of the AANS/CNS Washington Committee (1997-2000). Dr. Barrow has been on the Editorial Boards of Clinical Neurosurgery (1988-1992), Neurosurgery (1993-present), Neurosurgical Consultations (1989-1995), Neurologia Medico-Chirurgica (1996-present), co-edited Contemporary Neurosurgery (1985-1995), edited Perspectives in Neurological Surgery (1989-1992) and chaired the American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS) Publications Committee.
