Professor Hedley Emsley
Professor of Clinical NeuroscienceResearch Overview
(1) Cerebrovascular disease and its interface with other neurological disorders - including vascular changes in neurodegeneration and the role of novel neuronal and vascular imaging
(2) Inflammation and infection in cerebrovascular disease and other neurological disorders
(3) Novel mechanisms, therapeutic targets and biomarkers in cerebrovascular disease and other neurological disorders
(4) Clinical trials in cerebrovascular disease and other neurological disorders
(5) Use of routine clinical data for novel applications, including neurological clinical pathways
