BEYOND REVASCULARISATION: MAXIMIZING ACUTE STROKE TREATMENT OUTCOME POST-REPERFUSION

Grant number: 1150610 | Funding period: 2018 - 2021

Completed

Abstract

Stroke is a major cause of death and disability in adult across the world. Understanding how exactly brain cells are affected in stroke and how they are injured, and how they response to treatment is important in order to develop new treatment to maximize recovery and minimize brain injury after stroke. This project uses advanced MRI being performed at several time points after a stroke to study how the brain tissues recovers or dies after a stroke.
