Two of Yale’s senior neurology residents are in the residency’s Clinical Neuroscientist Training Program, and are pushing forward the boundaries of our knowledge of neurovascular disease.
Dr. Stacy Chu has been supported by a Young Investigator Seed Grant from the American Heart Association to study epidemiological trends and clinical outcomes in acute cerebrovascular diseases. She also has received departmental support for her research, and is working closely with members of Yale’s Neurocritical Care and Vascular Neurology faculty, including Drs. Kevin Sheth and Guido Falcone.
Dr. Margy McCullough-Hicks has earned an NIH R25 training grant to study the use of novel neuroimaging modalities, including MR spectroscopy, to longitudinally characterize and quantify peri-infarct edema in acute stroke patients. She will be starting an Vascular Neurology fellowship at Stanford University in July 2018, and will continue her NIH-supported research there. Her research mentors include Dr. Kevin Sheth.
