Home | UCSF Pediatric Stroke Research Center

Since 2003, we have been studying pediatric cerebrovascular disease with the goal of improving the prevention, treatment, and outcome of strokes in children. Our center has led NIH-funded multi-center studies focused on ischemic stroke for over a decade. In 2021, we launched a series of new projects as a Bugher Center of Excellence in Hemorrhagic Stroke Research. We work closely with the International Pediatric Stroke Study Group, the research arm of the International Pediatric Stroke Organization.
