Biography

Dr. Sansing completed her residency in Neurology in 2006 followed by a Vascular Neurology fellowship from 2006-2008, both at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. Her clinical interests include acute ischemic stroke and intracerebral hemorrhage as well as other complex neurovascular diseases.

Following clinical training, she completed a Master of Science in Translational Research at Penn studying immune mechanisms of injury after intracerebral hemorrhage. She then joined the faculty at the University of Connecticut and Hartford Hospital in 2010, where she was active in the Departments of Neurology, Neuroscience, Neurosurgery, and Immunology.

Dr. Sansing came to Yale in the summer of 2014, where she continues her work in cerebrovascular diseases and neuro-inflammation through basic, translational, and clinical studies. She leads a NIH-funded laboratory identifying immunological treatment targets for stroke, intracerebral hemorrhage, vascular cognitive impairment and dementia. She has received numerous national and international awards for her research, including the Established Investigator Award from the American Heart Association, the Derek Denny-Brown Neurological Scholar Award from the American Neurological Association, the Michael S. Pessin Stroke Leadership Award from the American Academy of Neurology, and is an elected member of the Henry Kunkel Society and the American Society for Clinical Investigation.

Clinical Care

Overview

Lauren Sansing, MD, specializes in stroke and other neurovascular diseases and integrates the latest scientific findings into her treatment plans. “My goal is to maximize the recovery potential for patients with serious neurovascular diseases,” she says.

Over the past decade, researchers have gained new knowledge about the fundamental role the immune system plays in contributing to brain injury from stroke, and in assisting in recovery and repair. “That information has been key,” Dr. Sansing says. “Our understanding of the immune system is transforming the potential for new treatments to improve the lives of patients after a stroke.”

An assistant professor of neurology at Yale School of Medicine, Dr. Sansing has an active laboratory that is working to identify immunological treatment targets for intracerebral hemorrhage. Her primary research goal is to further unravel the complexities of immune responses after acute a brain injury, and use any new knowledge in the quest to discover better ways to prevent damage and enhance recovery.
