We aim to identify circulating signatures that inform on the local and systemic effects of stroke and to explore the underlying molecular and pathophysiological mechanisms. Events in most organs including the local and systemic events (e.g. stress) related to acute stroke are captured by the circulating proteome and metabolome...

Changes in the genome, called mutations, are the driving force of evolution. These mutations continue to shape us from the moment we begin life as a single cell to the end of our life by altering the genome of each cell. During development, these somatic mutations provide important benefits including fighting infections

The gut microbiome has been reproducibly demonstrated to play a pivotal role in brain health and brain disease. Recent experimental and clinical studies suggest that stroke outcome is substantially impacted by the composition of the gut microbiome... [read more]
