Kyle  Walsh, MD

Neurocritical Care and Emergency Medicine Specialist in Cincinnati, Ohio

Dr. Kyle Walsh is an attending physician in emergency medicine and neurocritical care at the University of Cincinnati. He also serves as Medical Director of the Stroke Program and is an NIH-funded clinical researcher focused on improving outcomes for patients with stroke and traumatic brain injury. His unique expertise spans stroke care, critical care neurology, and translational neuroscience research.

In clinical settings, Dr. Walsh provides advanced neurocritical care for patients with complex neurologic emergencies. He works across the emergency department, neurocritical care unit, and with the UC Stroke Team to deliver fast, coordinated, and evidence-based interventions — especially for patients with intracerebral hemorrhage and ischemic stroke.

Education & Advanced Training

Dr. Walsh earned both his Bachelor of Science and Doctor of Medicine degrees from Michigan State University. He completed his residency in Emergency Medicine at the University of Cincinnati, where he also went on to complete a Master of Science in Clinical and Translational Research. His fellowship in neurocritical care and stroke research was supported by an NIH T32 training grant and included advanced training in translational science and neurologic emergencies.

He is board-certified by the American Board of Emergency Medicine and holds subspecialty certification in Neurocritical Care through the United Council for Neurologic Subspecialties (UCNS).

Research & Innovation in Stroke and Brain Injury

Dr. Walsh’s research focuses on identifying new biomarkers for stroke and traumatic brain injury using advanced “omics” techniques. His work includes:

  • Extracellular vesicles (exosomes)

  • miRNA sequencing

  • Transcriptomics, proteomics, and lipidomics

  • Brain monitoring devices

  • Population-level stroke outcome studies

He currently serves as Principal Investigator for the NIH R01-funded CAPSTONE study (Central And Peripheral STrOke inflammatioN with Exosomes, NS128425), which investigates how small extracellular vesicles contribute to inflammation, neurologic recovery, and long-term cognitive outcomes after hemorrhagic stroke.

Dr. Walsh has also led or contributed to studies funded by the National Institutes of Health, American Heart Association, industry sponsors, and academic partners.

Academic & Leadership Roles

As an Associate Professor at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, Dr. Walsh trains the next generation of emergency and neurocritical care physicians. He actively mentors medical students, residents, and fellows, and contributes to institutional efforts to expand interdisciplinary stroke care and research collaborations.

Committed to Advancing Stroke Care in Cincinnati

Dr. Walsh’s work bridges the gap between emergency response, neurocritical care, and scientific discovery. He is part of a dedicated team at UC Health working to improve stroke outcomes for patients across Cincinnati and beyond.
