EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH
IN STROKE AND INFLAMMATION

Our Mission

We want to understand the molecular basis of stroke pathology in order to advance treatment. To reach this goal, we pursue different approaches. We focus on immune mechanisms, cellular communication, endothelial dysfunction and novel imaging techniques. Novel therapies include nanobodies, which are tested in international preclinical randomized controlled trials.

Extracellular vesicles and stroke

The goal of our working group is to understand the mechanisms whereby (1) the EXTRACELLULAR VESICLES (EVs) and (2) the SYNAPTIC DEGENERATION AND RECOVERY play a role in the pathology of stroke…
