Research Keywords

Cell Biology, Clinical Immunology, Human Biology, Neuroscience, I was trained as a neurologist at the Department of Neurology, University of Wuerzburg, Germany where I am currently working as both senior physician and basic scientist. Our experimental stroke group focuses on the roles of the intrinsic coagulation cascade and platelets during thrombus formation and infarct development. Other fields of interest include molecular and cellular neuroimaging of inflammatory processes using magnetic resonsance imaging (MRI), ROS signalling and neuroimmunology. Moreover, we address the function of the kallikrein/kinin-system for blood-brain-barrier damage and edema formation in various disease paradigms of the central and peripheral nervous system. Together with Dr. Shimin Liu, Mount Sinai School of Medicine, New York, USA and Prof. Dr. Wolf-Rüdiger Schäbitz, University of Münster, Germany we recently founded the Society for Experimental Stroke (www.s4es.org) to improve translation of basic stroke science to clinical practice. Our official society journal, the Journal of Experimental Stroke and Translational Medicine (www.jestm.com), is the first open access stroke journal worldwide and was launched to globally foster exchange of information between scientists completely free of charge., Stroke, experimental stroke, cerebral ischemia, animal models, multiple sclerosis, neuroimaging, MRI, moleular imaging
