Neurovascular Diseases

Stroke is a medical emergency and a leading cause of death and disability worldwide affecting millions of subjects. In this context the Neurovascular Research Laboratory was created in 2001 focused in stroke research from a basic and translational perspective, covering all stages of the disease: from prevention and treatment, to recovery.

Nowadays our team is composed by a highly motivated group of researchers including clinical and basic scientists, with group leaders involved in National and International projects with public or private research funding on biomarkers for clinical decision making in stroke, the presence of silent infarctions, the assessment of cognition and cognitive decline, developing experimental models of cerebral ischemia testing new treatments complementary to reperfusion, and developing studies on cerebral amyloid angiopathy, tissue neurorepair or post-stroke rehabilitation.

Complementary studies on vascular dementia and Alzheimer disease related to amyloid-beta protein have also been encompassed as part of our research in the last years.
