Neurology registrar and researcher @CamStroke interested in cerebral small vessel disease/vascular dementia, @BIASPstroke Take Up Stroke Fellow

So pleased that the MINERVA trial results are now published in @alzdemjournals - this was a significant part of my PhD work and a huge team effort to complete the recruitment and analysis (1/6):

Thanks also to @wbic_cam and @CUH_NHS R&D team and clinical trials pharmacy for supporting the trial and most importantly to our patients for being so generous with their time and energy #SVDtrials (6/6)

Excited to share that our stem cell-based model for studying small vessel disease and vascular dementia has been published! A small step, but a crucial one, in addressing this important issue. #stemcells #vascularhealth

@StrokeWorkshop @CamStroke Many thanks for the invitation and arranging such an excellent meeting! @StrokeWorkshop

[Robin Brown @rbb_29]

@BoNorrving @PDandHDLab @UCLStrokeRes @CamStroke @Brain1878 @theABN_Info @BoNorrving Thank you - it should be available later in the year at https://t.co/SPF54ESb8W (after some minor corrections) or send me a DM and I can email a copy!

[Robin Brown @rbb_29]

Really enjoyed defending my PhD thesis - with thanks to Caroline Williams-Gray @PDandHDLab and David Werring @UCLStrokeRes for a very stimulating viva examination and Hugh Markus @CamStroke as always for supervising and supporting! Thanks also to funders @Brain1878/@theABN_Info

Delighted to be joining @EastNeurology next year to start formal neurology training - after some time as an aspiring registrar!

WMH reduction was more likely in patients with lower lesion burden & favourable DTI markers of white matter integrity at baseline suggesting in severe SVD, lesion regression is unlikely. With @CamStroke and @StrokeNijmegen. Link: https://t.co/qogbse2yYO (open access coming soon)

Our paper looking at the natural history of white matter hyperinitensities in cerebral small vessel disease now out in @IntJStroke. We looked for evidence of lesion regression in three cohorts of SVD patients and found modest volume WMH reduction in few patients

[International Journal of Stroke @IntJStroke]

Just Accepted!

Onto day 2 of our Vascular workshop! Yesterday we heard lots of great talks, took part in poster sessions and a brilliant roundtable discussion👏

Looking forward to more of the same today!

@jhfrudd @nr_evans Firstly deeper immunophenotyping of a larger cohort (work with @CamStroke @mallat_lab funded by @TheBHF @BMAFoundationMR @Brain1878l) to probe the mechanisms and secondly intervention! Results from our trial of minocycline in SVD (funded by @The_MRC) later in the year...

[Robin Brown @rbb_29]

Really interesting data from our PET-MRI cohort of small vessel disease patients. Areas destined to become lesions at follow-up have 𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 microglial signal than normal appearing white matter - suggests that inflammation (if causal) may be relevant earlier than we thought...

Hello Cambridge Twitter!
We are looking for healthy volunteers in the local area to #takepartinresearch looking at Fatigue at the Stroke Research Group, Addenbrooke's Hospital.

Please get in touch if interested!
