At the UMC Utrecht Brain Center, we conduct (pre)clinical research focused on patients and their treatment for cerebrovascular diseases.
At the UMC Utrecht Brain Center, we conduct (pre)clinical research focused on patients and their treatment for cerebrovascular diseases. This includes studies on individuals with stroke, unruptured intracranial vascular malformations, vascular cognitive impairment, and neonates suffering from hypoxic-ischemic brain damage.
‘Cerebrovascular diseases’ is an umbrella term that includes various subtypes, such as ischemic stroke, subarachnoid hemorrhage, cerebral small vessel disease, carotid disease and neonatal stroke. The interdisciplinary research approach, with involvement of clinicians, basic scientists, technology experts, and epidemiologists, provides optimal conditions for translation between research and health care, which can expedite implementation of scientific evidence into clinical practice. Our mission is to improve prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cerebrovascular diseases through integration of basic, translational, clinical and epidemiological research with state-of-the-art methods.
The research approaches of the focus area ‘Stroke’ span imaging, experimental studies, data science, epidemiology, qualitative research, genetics, and randomized controlled trials. These diverse methodologies enable comprehensive exploration of stroke-related diseases and the development of innovative solutions for prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation.
Research groups play a pivotal role in advancing knowledge and innovation within their respective fields. By bringing together diverse experts, they foster collaborative efforts that drive scientific and technological breakthroughs.
