Starke Lab

Research Focus

Alterations in normal cerebral blood flow can have devastating neurological consequences. As a result, cerebrovascular disease is the fifth leading cause of death and is one of the leading causes of disability in the United States. The most common form of cerebrovascular disease is stroke, but it also includes aneurysms, arteriovenous malformation, dural arteriovenous fistulas, subdural hemorrhage, and others. The goal of the Starke laboratory is to study cerebrovascular diseases from a clinical, translational, therapeutic, and basic science prospective. Our laboratory is uniquely suited to investigate cerebrovascular disease using a multipronged approach consisting of cell culture, experimental aneurysm models, advanced imaging modalities and clinical studies.
