The group teams up with a multidisciplinary group of neurosurgeons and neuroscientists, mathematicians, PhD candidates, postdocs and students, to provide a broad collaboration with a common vision; to challenge, discover and improve our current understanding and treatment of complex neurovascular and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) disorders.
We have a translational perspective with a strong clinical basis.
From the clinical perspective, the following diseases and disease states are targeted:
- Intracranial aneurysms and subarachnoid hemorrhage, including neuro-intensive surveillance and outcome. Cerebral hemodynamics and cerebral revascularization. Pathophysiology and treatment of chronic subdural hematomas
- Cerebrospinal fluid diseases and role of cerebrospinal fluid in metabolic function of central nervous system, particularly in neurodegeneration and dementia, CSF disturbances, vascular disease and cerebral bleeds, inflammatory disease and neuro-oncology
- Neuro-inflammatory conditions, particularly related to neurosurgical diseases
- Brain Monitoring. Neurosurgical pathophysiology, intracranial pressure and arterial blood pressure dynamics
Projects
- Cerebrospinal fluid
Efflux pathways. Glymphatic function. Meningeal lymphatic function. Imaging of CSF flow and CSF tracer transport, and CSF molecular clearance function. Pathophysiology of CNS diseases with CSF disturbance: Hydrocephalus. Normal pressure hydrocephalus. Idiopathic intracranial hypertension. Spontaneous intracranial hypotension. Idiopathic CSF obstruction from cysts. Chiari malformation. - Neurovascular
Subarachnoid hemorrhage: Bleeding risks. Complications (Vasospasms. Hydrocephalus. Fatigue). Rehabilitation. Outcome. Vascular compression syndromes. Trigeminal neuralgia. - Neuro-inflammation
Cerebral abscesses: Pathophysiology. Subdural hematoma: pathophysiology and role of neuroinflammation. - Brain monitoring
Invasive and non-invasive intracranial pressure (ICP).
