Research Focus
Dr. Marc W Halterman's lab focuses on the connection between the lungs and the brain during acute ischemic stroke. They study how lung injuries can affect inflammation and recovery after a stroke, aiming to discover new treatments that target lung issues to help improve brain outcomes. The research may lead to innovative therapies that could help mitigate complications related to strokes and other neurological conditions.
