- Alzheimer’s disease
- Parkinson’s disease
- frontotemporal dementia
- ALS
- Huntington’s disease
Efforts combine neuroimaging, biomarker discovery, and novel pharmacologic agents.
Cerebrovascular Disease
Develops interventions to improve outcomes after acute ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attack. Focuses on reperfusion strategies and neuroprotective agents for hemorrhagic stroke.
- acute ischemic stroke
- intracerebral hemorrhage
- transient ischemic attack
- stroke secondary prevention
- endovascular therapy
Research integrates acute care pathways with long‑term vascular risk management.
Peripheral Neuromuscular Disorders
