Biography
I am a neurologist with a subspecialty interest in stroke management. Over the years, I have pursued a range of clinical and research interests relevant to advancing the care of stroke patients. For example, my work on using iv tPA beyond recommendations in acute ischemic stroke significantly contributed to the field, informing physicians why several exclusion criteria did not have a strong scientific basis.
My current focus is on understanding the mechanisms of post-stroke epileptogenesis and the use of interventions to delay or prevent vascular cognitive impairment and dementia. For more information on the International Post-stroke Epilepsy Research Consortium (IPSERC), e-mail poststrokeepilepsy@yale.edu.
