Paper online in SCIENCE
April 2023 – We are grateful to be have contributed to a study published in SCIENCE . This study, led by colleagues from the LMU cardiology department, identified specific proteins that are down-regulated during periods of prolonged immobility and protect from thrombosis.
Paper online in STROKE
April 2023 – Our study on the value of plasma CGRP levels for assessing collateral flow in patients with stroke is online in STROKE – In collaboration with colleagues from UCLA, we analyzed whether plasma levels of CGRP, one of the most potent vasodilators, can be utilized for assessing collateral flow in settings settings where advanced imaging is not available.

Welcome to Walter!
January 2023 – New year, new recruit! Walter joins us for his Master thesis investigating the cellular composition of stroke thrombi in relation to proteomic data. We are lucky to have you, welcome!
Paper online in ESJ
December 2022 – Our study on differences between RCT and real-world cohorts was published in the European Stroke Journal ! In collaboration with the UKE Hamburg, we find that differences in patient characteristics drive associations with outcome after endovascular treatment.


Annual conference of German neurologists in Berlin (DGN-Kongress)
November 2022 –Together with Prof. Christine Klein, the previous president of the DGN, Steffen chaired a session on precision medicine in neurology. We were fortunate to have an excellent line-up of speakers including Götz Thomalla, Ghazaleh Tabatabai, Jan Baumbach, Märit Jensen, Daniel Merk and Luisa Delazer, which led to excellent discussions on the future of neurological precision medicine in Germany.
First in-person Meeting of our Leducq network in Oxford
September 2022 – Teresa, Vanessa and Steffen met collaborators from Oxford, Madrid, Harvard, UCLA, and Stanford from our Leducq network on Circadian effects in Stroke at Oxford University. Excellently organized by Alastair Buchan and his team, we had wonderful three days to discuss science, plan collaborations and get to know each other.


Welcome to Naomi and Julia!
September 2022 – We are very pleased to welcome Naomi and Julia to our team. Naomi joins us as a Postdoc and investigate brain-body interactions after stroke using multi-omic datasets. She conducted her PhD with Geert Jan Biessels at UMC Utrecht. Julia joins us as our new lab manager. She has extensive expertise in numerous experimental methods and has previously worked at the Max Planck Institute and the Technical University Munich. We are very happy for them to join us. Have both a great start!
Excellent Paper in Neuroscience Award by ERA-NET NEURON
July 2022 – We are proud to share that our work on the diagnostic utility of circulating metabolites after stroke won the Excellent Paper in Neuroscience Award by ERA-NET Neuron 2021. In our paper (Annals of Neurology, 2020), we identify, validate, and replicate a set of four circulating metabolites that shows unprecedented utility and outperforms neuroimaging in identifying patients with stroke upon hospital arrival.
