The Friedman Brain Institute

The researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, and specifically our scientists at the Mount Sinai Stroke Center through its cutting-edge research and expertise, are committed to advancing the field of stroke treatment and prevention. With a focus on medical therapy, neurosurgical approaches, and interventional neuroradiologic procedures, our faculty strives to develop and improve innovative strategies to combat stroke, ultimately reducing its impact on individuals and communities.

Advances in Stroke Research

Our research focuses on the prevention of stroke, the treatment of acute stroke, and on ways to help patients recover optimally from stroke. We are one of the 25 regional coordinating centers in a network established by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke to develop and perform clinical trials in the prevention and acute management of all forms of stroke, as well as in stroke rehabilitation.
