Stroke remains a national and international priority for research due to its prevalence and increasing impact across our society. This disease has both cardiovascular and neurological components.  A stroke occurs in the brain, which controls who we are, what we do and how we function. Part of the brain is shut down during a stroke. 

Research can make all the difference. It can help improve the lives of those affected and living with the long term affects, but importantly it can drive forward change. To help us develop and find new ways to prevent and stop strokes, as well as treating and supporting those affected.

Glasgow's Centre for Stroke Research (CSR) brings together basic and clinical scientists from the Institutes of Neuroscience & Psychology (INP) and Cardiovascular & Medical Sciences (ICAMS) to deliver a comprehensive translational research programme. 

Their complementary expertise covers in vitro and in vivo pre-clinical research, acute diagnostic imaging through to major clinical trials in acute care and regenerative therapy. The multiple interactions between clinical and basic scientists fosters a bench-to-bedside-to-bench approach to stroke research focusing on mechanistic approaches, diagnostic imaging development, elucidation of pathogenesis, novel treatment development and clinical evaluation.

Thank you for considering supporting Stroke Research in Arnold's memory, every contribution truly makes a difference to the lives of those impacted by stroke's.
