CAMARADES: Bringing evidence to translational medicine

Purposes of an inaugural lecture

• To try to explain to family and friends what it is that you actually do

• To try to convince colleagues that what you do is actually useful

• To try to encourage the next generation of researchers and teachers to improve on what you do

What is translational neuroscience?

My Definition: using information from one research domain to guide research in a different research domain

What is a stroke?

• Interruption of the blood supply to part of the brain• Stops that bit of the brain from working• The consequences depend on which part of the brain is

affected• In a warning stroke the blockage is temporary• If the blockage is permanent that part of the brain dies• When this happens, other bits of brain can sometimes

learn to take over some of the functions which have been lost

The burden of stroke

• 5.5m people die worldwide each year – one every 6 seconds

• ~150,000 per year in the UK

• 40% of patients die

• 30% become disabled as a result of their stroke
