Dr. H.M.M. Heleen van Beusekom, PhD, FESC.

Experimental Pathobiologist; Team leader for Experimental vascular interventions and vascular repair and Head Histology & MS Imaging Lab at Experimental Cardiology, Erasmus MC University Medical Center.

Brief summary of research. My work focusses on micro- and macro-vascular injury and repair in cardiovascular disease.  We are building the MRCLEAN and CONTRAST national biobanks for acute ischemic stroke, and the local CorTAsk biobank containing peri-procedural plasma and thrombus aspirates retrieved during routine treatment for STEMI. Long Bio_Heleen van Beusekom

Keywords/phrases

Arterial thrombosis and thrombus biobanking in acute ischemic stroke, acute myocardial infarction and chronic thrombo embolic pulmonary hypertension,Experimental arterial interventions, atherosclerosis and vascular wound healing,Ischemia - reperfusion

Nikki Boodt

As a medical student, Nikki wrote her master thesis on timing of the delivery of intra-arterial treatment in the MR CLEAN trial. After graduating medical school at the Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam in 2017, she worked as a neurology resident in two hospitals in the Netherlands before starting her PhD at the Erasmus Medical Center, focusing on thrombus histology and thrombus imaging in ischemic stroke.

Keywords

clinical neurology, ischemic stroke, thrombus histology

Noor Samuels

Noor has developed a growing interest in endovascular treatment for patients suffering from acute ischemic stroke due to a large vessel occlusion during her study in Medicine. After obtaining her medical degree, she has been working as a PhD candidate on the development, validation and application of a virtual stroke population within the INSIST project. Besides modeling, she focuses on peri-procedural anesthetic and hemodynamic management in acute ischemic stroke patients.

Keywords

acute ischemic stroke, anesthetic and hemodynamic management, virtual patient models

Dr. Wahbi K. El-Bouri

 is a postdoctoral research assistant in the Cerebral Hemodynamics Group at the University of Oxford. His DPhil (PhD) thesis was in the realm of cerebral blood flow modelling, in particular with regards to drawing a link between the 'unseen', and hence clinically unmeasurable microcirculation, and the clinically measurable parameters from techniques such as MRI. His attempts at plugging this ‘imaging gap’ have continued into his postdoctoral research where he is currently involved in developing in-silico clinical trials of stroke treatment as part of an EU funded Horizon 2020 project, as well as working on methods to measure intracranial pressure non-invasively, and working on understanding the microvascular role in dementia and cognitive decline.Outside of research Wahbi teaches undergraduate engineering at Keble college, enjoys playing football, and writes short stories in his spare time.

Tamás István Józsa

Postdoctoral research assistant at the Institute of Biomedical Engineering, Department of Engineering Science.

His work aims to develop a numerical model of cerebral blood flow through the microvasculature. The purpose of the model is to compute the perfusion of brain tissue, identify ischemic regions, and predict tissue death and survival (WP5). CV_Tamás Józsa
