My current research primarily revolves around the application of advanced MR imaging techniques to better understand the mechanisms behind small vessel disease. A particular focus of my recent work has been the analysis of cerebrovascular reactivity and phase contrast data from recent studies, including the LACI-1 (LACunar stroke Intervention 1) trial. We are currently working to acquire further imaging data in small vessel disease cohorts, including high resolution DTI, DCE and MR spectroscopy data. I am involved with a number of studies, in particular through the collaborative SVDs@Target and Leducq Transatlantic Network on understanding the role of the perivascular space in cerebral small vessel disease.
