Research Focus
Dr. Devin L Brown's lab at the University of Michigan focuses on understanding how sleep apnea affects stroke patients, particularly the differences in how it manifests among various ethnic groups. By investigating the underlying causes of sleep apnea after a stroke, the lab aims to create personalized treatment plans that improve patient outcomes. This research is crucial because stroke can severely disrupt brain function, leading to high rates of sleep apnea in affected individuals, which is often overlooked in traditional care.
