Adam Chodobski is a Professor Emeritus in the Department of Emergency Medicine at Brown University. Born in Warsaw, Poland, he earned his Master's degree in Biomedical Engineering from Polytechnic University Warsaw and continued his doctoral studies at the Medical School of Warsaw, where he received a Ph.D. in Neuroscience. Following his education, he completed post-doctoral training at the Howard Florey Institute of Experimental Physiology and Medicine in Melbourne, Australia, before joining the faculty at Brown University Medical School in 1995.
