Gene profiling to develop a neuroprotective strategy in a large animals model of following ischaemic stroke. [ 2008 - 2012 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: A/Pr Renee Turner (Principal investigator)

Brief description Stroke affects 15 million people worldwide each year. At present, the diagnosis and treatment of stroke is not optimal. The use of gene profiling may provide us with information that could allow us to more accurately identify individuals at risk of stroke, predict stroke outcome and effectively treat stroke patients. In addition, by using a targeted approach to therapy we have the potential to reduce brain swelling and improve outcome following stroke with neuroprotective agents.
