May 2023 – The European Stroke Organisation Conference ESOC 2023 opened with a public awareness campaign and proceeded with an extensive scientific programme including the presentation of large international trials in plenaries, workshops, teaching courses and other formats. ISD researchers served as the local hosts and also presented results >>
May 2023 – Small vessel disease (SVD) accounts for ~25% of strokes, more than doubles the risk of future stroke, and contributes to up to 45% of dementia cases. In 2013, STandards for ReportIng Vascular Changes on nEuroimaging 1 (STRIVE-1) categorised features of SVD that are visible on structural MRI and defined standards on multiple levels up to reporting. In an international effort with other experts ISD investigators now updated guidance on imaging of vascular changes in studies of ageing and neurodegeneration to create STRIVE-2 >>
May 2023 – The 3rd edition of "The EMBO Workshop on Stroke-Immunology" will take place from September 18 to 21, 2023 at Schloss Hohenkammer in the iconic country side of Munich. The meeting provides a unique environment for scientists at all career levels to access recent advances in the rapidly evolving field of stroke and neuroimmunology research and to expand on collaborations. >>
March 2023 – The DFG awarded an Emmy Noether Award to Marios Georgakis for establishing an independent junior research group focusing on the inflammatory mechanisms driving atheroprogression. His team will analyze high-dimensional data aiming to discover novel anti-inflammatory drug targets for cardiovascular disease, map molecular and histological immunophenotypes associated with atheroprogression, and uncover imaging and circulating biomarkers of human atheroinflammation >>
March 2023 – The first biannual network meeting will be held on March 26-28, 2023 in New York City. Principal Investigators will present their research programs while also giving Early Career Investigators an opportunity to introduce their work. The International Network of Excellence on Brain Endothelium: A Nexus for Cerebral Small Vessel Disease (BRENDA) is coordinated by Martin Dichgans and Frank Faraci (Iowa) and funded by the Leducq Foundation >>
January 2023 – The Hertie Foundation will continue funding for its Network of Excellence in Clinical Neuroscience. The program provides support to junior scientists (four from LMU and TUM) and facilitates collaborations across participating sites. The scientific focus of the Munich site (Speakers: M. Dichgans and Thomas Korn) is on neurovascular, neurodegenerative, and neuroinflammatory diseases and their underlying mechanisms. >>
ISD’s Diversity Management is interlocked with LMU’s program on Diversity as well as programs installed by the DFG funded Excellence cluster for Systems Neurology (SyNergy) of which the ISD is part, covering a range of aspects including: Gender equality, Diversity management, Being family friendly, Inclusion and participation, Cultural diversity, Healthy university.
