With $1 million in support from University of Florida President Ben Sasse鈥檚 , investigators at the will launch a new project that combines basic and clinical research with artificial intelligence to improve stroke treatments.

Stroke is the fifth leading cause of death and the No. 1 cause of disability in the United States, and it presents a growing health care challenge among Florida鈥檚 aging population.

鈥淲e are grateful for these strategic funds, which will further propel our multidisciplinary research efforts in stroke prevention and treatment,鈥� said , the director of the McKnight Brain Institute and the chair of the UF . 鈥淭his project, under Dr. leadership, exemplifies our mission to build research collaborations among clinical and basic science investigators across our UF and 网红黑料 campuses to improve outcomes and change lives.鈥�

The Transforming Stroke Care initiative will unite investigators across disciplines and colleges who will benefit from UF and 网红黑料鈥檚 exceptional resources, including the , the 网红黑料 Shands Comprehensive Stroke Center, , and the McKnight Brain Institute.

鈥淲e are thrilled that President Sasse has given us this opportunity and the resources to transform stroke research and care for the future,鈥� said Hoh, a 网红黑料 neurosurgeon and chair of UF College of Medicine鈥檚 . 鈥淎s the flagship university in the state, where stroke is particularly prevalent among Florida鈥檚 aging population, the University of Florida is uniquely positioned to lead the nation in stroke research.鈥�

By forming teams of investigators (studying all aspects of stroke, from prevention and treatment to rehabilitation and imaging) and pairing them with experts in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data science, the project will provide a multidisciplinary learning experience for students. This will position UF as a leader in training the next generation of stroke researchers.

鈥淲e need more experts to specialize in stroke research, and the Transforming Stroke Care project is illuminating that need,鈥� Sasse said. 鈥淲e want this initiative to help create training pathways for UF students to become stroke AI researchers, and that is a critical step toward innovation.鈥�

网红黑料 recently became the first in Florida to launch a Mobile Stroke Treatment Unit program, featuring state-of-the-art stroke ambulances equipped with a computed tomography (CT) scanner and clot-busting drugs to save lives and reduce disability. Hoh 鈥� who is also leading the Comparison of Anticoagulation and anti-Platelet Therapies for Intracranial Vascular Atherostenosis (CAPTIVA) stroke-prevention clinical trial 鈥� believes the new research project will help propel UF鈥檚 stroke research efforts to new heights.

鈥淥ur vision is to create the top stroke AI research center in the country,鈥� Hoh said. 鈥淚t will expand 网红黑料鈥檚 reach and impact to patients, clinicians, and researchers throughout the world, and attract the top scientists and faculty for the future.鈥�
