Professor Berislav Zlokovic - Universty of Southern California Dr Melanie Sweeney - formerly working with the Universty of Southern California team/ Dr Abhay Sagare - Universty of Southern California Congratulations on latest achievements! Fondation Leducq Transatlantic Network of Excellence The Fondation Leducq transatlantic research consortium aim is to study the role of the perivascular space in small vessel disease (SVD), combining multidisciplinary experitise from across Europe and North America. The group consists of world-class experts, skilled in experimental and clinical studies, who individually have developed novel techniques and unveiled key insights into cerebral microvascular structure and function. Together, they will combine their unique strengths and motivations to unravel the pathobiology of the perivascular space, a structure that plays a pivotal role in maintaining brain health and underpins SVD. The consorium, led by The University of Edinburgh, consists of 7 other research Centres including Sunnybrook Research Institute, University of Toronto (Canada) University of Copenhagen (Denmark) Yale University (USA) University of Southern California (USA) University College London (UK) INSERM research groups led by Professor Serge Charpak and Professor Anne Joutel (France) This article was adapted from the Perivascular Spaces in Small Vessel Disease news feed, titled "Leducq Network scientists recognised for globally-leading expertise on Blood-Brain Barrier" News feed on Perivascular Spaces in Small Vessel Disease website (external link) Related links Expertscape Blood Brain Barrier: Worldwide (external link) Fondation Leducq Network of Transatlantic Research Excellence (external link) This article was published on 2024-08-27
