Biographical Sketch
The Trout lab, to date, has been characterized by their translational, preclinical and clinical, studies on cerebrovascular injury (ranging from large vessel occlusions to small vessel disease) and cognitive impairment. Currently, major ongoing research focuses on utilizing plasma extracellular vesicles (EV) as biomarkers and potential theragnostic targets for early pre-symptomatic and overt changes in the brain’s microenvironment during injury.
