Research actvites of the Stroke Research Group (STR) include development and implementation of innovative methods for the evaluation, treatment, and prevention of acute ischemic stroke. Research portfolio is designed across translational axis from basic science to clinical research and implementation research. The emphasis is on a translational approach so that knowledge gained through basic research is applied and tested in clinical practice and then translated into health care system and population.
