Research interests of the group include:
Pathophysiology and risk prediction in carotid artery disease
Cerebral small vessel disease and vascular cognitive impairment
Our research is closely linked, and co-located, with a comprehensive clinical stroke programme in Addenbrooke’s Hospital. This includes a dedicated Hyperacute Stroke Unit, the Lewin Stroke Rehabilitation Unit, and a daily TIA service. We run a National referral service for patients with monogenic forms of stroke, particularly CADASIL.
