    About Stroke Research

    Faculty from the University of Michigan Stroke Program have dedicated their professional lives to taking care of patients, educating the next generation of stroke physicians and performing cutting-edge research to lessen the impact of this common, severe disease. Our research program literally goes from the study of molecules to the study of communities. We are interested in learning more about genes that are associated with stroke risk, the role that the environment and neighborhoods play in stroke risk and outcome, and in novel risk factors for stroke. The risk factor that we investigate the most is obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). OSA is very common and often people have the condition but are not aware. It is associated with stroke risk and may be a target to improve recovery from stroke. Fundamentally, our group is driven to reduce stroke health disparities with respect to race, ethnicity and gender.

    • Sleep apnea common among stroke-related brainstem injuriesJuly 1, 2014 - 4:41 am

      SAN DIEGO — People whose brainstems are affected by their stroke have a significantly higher prevalence of sleep apnea than those who have stroke-related injury elsewhere in the brain, according to University of Michigan Health System research presented at the American Stroke Association’s International Stroke Conference 2014. Sleep apnea is marked by interrupted breathing during sleep […]

    • Mexican-Americans deal with high stroke ratesJuly 1, 2014 - 4:38 am

      ANN ARBOR—Mexican-Americans suffer more damage from stroke than non-Hispanic whites but they survive longer. New University of Michigan research shows that Mexican-Americans had worse neurologic, functional and cognitive outcomes 90 days after stroke compared to non-Hispanic whites. Although this population has increased risk of stroke, they have a lower chance of dying from one, suggesting […]

    • Stroke researchers mark 20 years of health disparity researchJuly 1, 2014 - 4:18 am

      University of Michigan earns new cycle of federal funding to examine burden of stroke among Mexican Americans ANN ARBOR, Mich. – Partners in the Brain Attack Surveillance in Corpus Christi (BASIC) project have earned a new cycle of funding that marks 20 years of federal support for stroke research. Corpus Christi researchers lead community work for landmark stroke study. BASIC […]
