Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Geoffrey Donnan (Principal investigator) ,  Prof David Howells ,  Prof Graeme Hankey ,  Prof Stephen Davis

Brief description Many new therapies are being developed to treat stroke and prevent its recurrence. While a number of these have been successfully introduced, there is a puzzling gap between evidence of efficacy in animal models and humans. One of the main reasons may be lack of an integrated approach between the basic sciences and clinical researchers. By assembling a team with skills in both areas and a structure to maximise communication between groups this team plan to incrementally introduce new therapies into clinical practice.
