Tampere Hemorrhagic Brain Pathology Research Group

Hemorrhagic stroke is among the leading causes of disability, loss of independence, and loss of productive life years.

We investigate the molecular pathobiology, as well as the untreated clinical course of vascular and neoplastic lesions that develop in the brain and spinal cord, and may rupture causing various form of hemorrhagic stroke

The goal of our research is to translate the knowledge learned from the pathobiology and clinical course of these diseases into novel diagnostic tools and improvements in therapy. In addition, we investigate the outcome of potential rupture, and the factors affecting it.

*Primary focus: Intracranial aneurysms, arteriovenousmalformations, dural arteriovenous fistulas, cavernomas, hemangioblastomas, as well as small vessel disease
