RESEARCH INTEREST
Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a stroke subtype associated with high morbidity and mortality. Around 50% of ICH patients die within the first month, and fewer than 20% of survivors regain functional independence. Moreover, the incidence of ICH is expected to grow over the next decades due to population aging and changes in racial demographics. Despite the relatively high incidence rate, there is no effective treatment for ICH, and the efficacy of neurosurgical intervention after ICH remains largely controversial. Lack of effective treatment options, at least in part, reflects on the poorly defined pathophysiology of the detrimental events underlying brain injury after ICH. The long-term goal of my laboratory is to determine the molecular and cellular mechanisms of ICH-induced brain injury and identify novel molecular targets for therapeutic intervention.
