He is on the executive team of the Strategies to Innovate EmeRgENcy Care Clinical Trials Network (SIREN). He has other active or recently completed NIH funded clinical trials involving acute vertigo in the emergency department, hypertension, and therapeutic hypothermia after cardiac arrest.

    Research Overview

    My research interests are directed towards improvement of the acute care delivered for stroke patients in the emergency department. This involves studying systems of care and barriers to delivering high quality effective treatment to this population of patients. I also participate in trials investigating new medications for use in acute ischemic stroke.
