Group Leader

Jaume Roquer González

This is a clinical group involved in stroke research. Currently our group is included in the Red de Enfermedades Vasculares Cerebrales (INVICTUS PLUS) that is one of the main Spanish research networks. The strengths of our group are: first, our ongoing database named BASICMAR, that contains extensive demographic, epidemiological, clinical, and outcome data about all stroke patients (n=8,300) admitted to our hospital, and second, our large collection of blood sample of stroke patients for genetic and biomarkers studies (n=6,000). The two main research lines are:

1. Clinical research and biomarkers in stroke: epidemiology, natural history and vascular risk factors, stroke biomarkers, environmental and stroke, diet and stroke, neurosonology and neuro-imaging.

2. Genetic and stroke research: our unit is part of the International Stroke Genetics Consortium, which includes many international (USA, Europe) and national groups and of the GENESTROKE Consortium working to develop GWAS and EWAS studies and projects.
