Research Interests

I am interested in the study of the radiological characteristics, temporal profile and biomarkers of tissue injury in the perihematomal area around spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage. My other research interest is the study of cerebral microbleeds in patients with TIA and ischemic stroke.

Clinical Trials

• Diagnostic Utility of MRI in Intracerebral Hemorrhage Recruiting
• Minimally Invasive Surgery Plus rt-PA for ICH Evacuation (MISTIE) Recruiting
• The Insulin Resistance Intervention after Stroke Trial (IRIS) Recruiting
