Scientific Focus
Current Research Interests
I care for neurologically critically ill patients in the intensive care unit and patients with acute stroke and TIA in the inpatient stroke unit. I also see outpatients in a stroke clinic and conduct follow-up of patients discharged from the neurological ICU, in the “Outcomes clinic”.
I am interested in the study of the radiological characteristics and temporal profile of edema/ tissue injury in the perihematomal area around spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage. I am also interested in developing protocols for emergent reversal of anticoagulation in a life-threatening hemorrhage situation.
Clinical Trials
- Recruiting Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) Triage and Evaluation of Stroke Risk
- Recruiting Computed Tomography Perfusion (CTP) to Predict Response to Recanalization in Ischemic Stroke Project (CRISP)
- Recruiting Efficacy and Safety Trial of Transcranial Laser Therapy Within 24 Hours From Stroke Onset (NEST-3)
- Recruiting Efficacy and Safety Study of Desmoteplase to Treat Acute Ischemic Stroke (DIAS-4)
- Recruiting Insulin Resistance Intervention After Stroke Trial
