• links between infection and inflammation and stroke, including the consequences ofÌý COVID-19, HIV, varicella and other viruses
• assessment and understanding of the cognitive and psychological consequences of stroke
• complex modelling
• randomised controlled trials in acute stroke and stroke prevention including carotid artery disease, small vessel disease and intracerebral haemorrhage, and anticoagulation
• neuroscience-based mechanistic and applied studies of neurorehabilitation in cognitive and motor domains
• innovative clinical stroke pathways for diagnosis, treatment and follow-up
• vascular neurosurgical research with a focus on intracranial and subarachnoid haemorrhage Ìý

We aim to offer the opportunity to participate in stroke research to all of the patients treated within our service by co-ordinating a portfolio of over twenty high-quality national Institute of Health Research (NIHR) clinical trials.
