Dr. Sandeep Khot's lab focuses on improving the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in stroke patients. The research aims to enhance adherence to CPAP therapy through tailored behavioral interventions. By optimizing this treatment, the lab seeks to improve recovery outcomes and reduce the risks associated with stroke, such as recurrent strokes and cardiovascular events.

Dr. Jonathan R Weinstein's lab at the University of Washington focuses on understanding the role of microglia, which are the brain's immune cells, in chronic cerebrovascular diseases and cognitive impairment. By using advanced mouse models and imaging techniques, the lab investigates how microglial signaling drives white matter damage associated with conditions like dementia. The ultimate goal is to identify new diagnostics and treatment strategies that could improve outcomes for patients suffering from vascular cognitive impairment.
