Biography

Anto Bagić, MD, MSc joined the University of Pittsburgh in July 2005 after completing a neurology residency at Georgetown University (Washington, DC) and clinical neurophysiology, epilepsy, sleep and clinical research fellowships at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Bethesda, MD. He is board certified in neurology and sleep disorders. Dr. Bagić has dual academic appointments in the Departments of Neurology and Neurological Surgery.

In addition to his Outpatient Epilepsy Clinic and Vagal Nerve Stimulator (VNS) Clinic, Dr. Bagić has attending responsibilities in the Epilepsy Monitoring Unit that he has directed since October 2006. His major responsibility is to develop and direct the new imaging facility centered on clinical and research applications of magnetoencephalography (MEG). MEG is the most powerful functional neuroimaging technique for recording magnetic fields generated by brain activity in real time.

Since his arrival, Dr. Bagić has established a new Center for Advanced Brain Magnetic Source Imaging (CABMSI) at UPMC Presbyterian which he also directs and where he serves as a director of the MEG Program. The CABMSI is the newest UPMC extra-departmental entity focused on clinical and research applications of MEG. It is envisioned as a self-sustained module that “fits and feeds” the UPMC system: a resource center that provides a logistical framework for all clinical applications of MEG as well as the widest spectrum of research applications, from basic and applied research to clinical research and clinical applications.

Dr. Bagic's publications can be reviewed through the National Library of Medicine's publication database.
