Researchers: Prof Christopher Sobey (Principal investigator) ,  A/Pr Thiruma Arumugam ,  Prof Grant Drummond

Brief description Stroke represents a major health (accounting for 6% of all deaths) and economic (costs Australia $2.14 billion per year) burden on society, thus clearly more effective treatments are needed. This project will investigate the role of two substances produced in the body – angiotensin II and aldosterone – in stroke outcome, and whether targeting their receptor(s) may prevent poor outcomes following stroke.
