The Weinkauf Lab
The Weinkauf Lab, led by Associate Professor of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery Craig Weinkauf, MD, focuses on translational science to better understand and treat patients with cardiovascular disease.
One of the key areas of focus in on cardiovascular brain health, using longitudinal clinical studies and a wide array of advanced brain imaging, blood flow imaging and neurocognitive testing to quantify the relationship between carotid artery stenosis and brain structure and function.
The Zhou Lab
The Zhou Lab, led by Professor of Surgery Dr. Wei Zhou, has built a translational research program with a focus on carotid disease outcome and mechanistic investigation on atherosclerosis. She is the PI for a multi-site trans-disciplinary study to investigate cognitive outcome of carotid intervention with the goal of identifying appropriate patients for intervention. She is also a site-PI for multiple clinical trials.
