Hello Twitter! We are DNA Lacunar 2, a study recruiting MRI-confirmed lacunar stroke patients across 40+ UK sites for genetic analysis. Run from Cambridge Stroke at the University of Cambridge. This page will be updates and news about the study!

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! #cambridge #cambridgeresearch

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...

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!

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

Really enjoyed defending my PhD thesis - with thanks to Caroline Williams-Gray The Barker / Williams-Gray Lab and David Werring UCL Stroke Research for a very stimulating viva examination and Hugh Markus Cambridge Stroke as always for supervising and supporting! Thanks also to funders Brain/Association of British Neurologists

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 Cambridge Stroke CambridgeCardio VPD Heart & Lung Research Institute Cam Neuroscience 1/5
