Arbeitsgruppe Schlaganfallforschung

Über uns

Die AG Schlaganfallforschung der Klinik und Poliklinik für Neurologie am Universitätsklinikum Carl Gustav Carus beschäftigt sich mit wissenschaftlichen Fragestellungen, die zu einer Verbesserung des pathophysiologischen Verständnisses und der klinischen Versogung von Schlaganfallpatient*innen beitragen. Die AG ist an das Dresdner Neurovaskuläre Centrum und das neurovaskuläre Netzwerk SOS-NET angeschlossen und greift so auf die hochschulmedizinische Infrastruktur einer interdisziplinären, telemedizinisch vernetzten und integrativen Schlaganfallversorgung zurück.

Arbeitsgruppe Schlaganfallforschung

Über uns

Die AG Schlaganfallforschung der Klinik und Poliklinik für Neurologie am Universitätsklinikum Carl Gustav Carus beschäftigt sich mit wissenschaftlichen Fragestellungen, die zu einer Verbesserung des pathophysiologischen Verständnisses und der klinischen Versogung von Schlaganfallpatient*innen beitragen. Die AG ist an das Dresdner Neurovaskuläre Centrum und das neurovaskuläre Netzwerk SOS-NET angeschlossen und greift so auf die hochschulmedizinische Infrastruktur einer interdisziplinären, telemedizinisch vernetzten und integrativen Schlaganfallversorgung zurück.

  • Telemedizinische Schlaganfallversorgung
  • Schlaganfallnachsorge
  • Bildgebung und Akuttherapie
  • Neurointensivmedizinische Forschung
  • Psychopharmakologie und Schlaganfall
  • COVID-19 und Schlaganfall
  • Heart and Brain, autonome Funktionen
  • Ätiologiediagnostik
