Research Focus
Dr. Ying Xian's lab focuses on understanding how strokes can lead to cognitive impairment and dementia, a condition known as post-stroke cognitive impairment and dementia (PSCID). The lab aims to use large datasets to identify risk factors for PSCID and explore how certain medications might help prevent it. Through this research, they hope to improve the care and treatment plans for stroke survivors and contribute to public health strategies targeting dementia related to strokes.
