Welcome to the Zurich Cerebrovascular Research Lab (ZCVR)
The Zurich Cerebrovascular Research Lab (ZCVR Lab) brings together basic and clinical scientists with a shared goal: advancing our understanding of cerebrovascular biology and disease through close integration of experimental and clinical research.
The CVR Lab is a collaborative network involving the following research groups:
Together, we strive to create a collaborative, innovative, and translational research environment that advances cerebrovascular science and ultimately benefits patients.
-
Prof. Dr. med. Susanne Wegener, Principal Investigator
Focus on mechanisms of reperfusion failure in stroke, prediction of therapeutic success using advanced imaging and machine learning, novel stroke treatments, cardiovascular health. -
Prof. Dr. Bruno Weber, Principal Investigator
Research on brain dynamics in experimental imaging and neuroenergetics, with a focus on energy metabolism, glial biology, and the development of imaging technologies. -
PD Dr. Mohamad El Amki, Group leader
Research on cerebrovascular and immune responses after stroke, with a focus on vascular remodeling, neuroinflammation, and strategies to improve tissue reperfusion and recovery.
