Cerebrovascular disease
‘Cerebrovascular diseases’ includes various subtypes, like ischemic stroke, subarachnoid hemorrhage, cerebral small vessel disease, carotid disease and neonatal stroke. Researchers from different Divisions investigate these subtypes as they form a focus theme within the strategic research programs Brain and Circulatory Health of the UMC Utrecht. The interdisciplinary research approach, with involvement of clinicians, basic scientists, technology experts and epidemiologists, provides optimal conditions for translation between research and health care, which can expedite implementation of scientific evidence into clinical practice.
Our mission
