The International Brain Foundation is the vision of Scott R. Gibbs, MD, a neurosurgeon practicing in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, a quiet Mississippi River town in the heartland of America.

Gibbs, originally from St. Louis, received his medical education at the University of Missouri-Columbia School of Medicine. Dr. Gibbs is an internationally respected neurosurgeon, certified by the American Board of Neurological Surgery, he is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, as well as an active member in a variety of professional associations and societies.

He has authored and co-authored numerous medical abstracts, manuscripts and books including the international Year Book of Neurology/Neurosurgery, for which he has served as the Editor-in-Chief.
