Michigan Alliance to Cure Cavernous Malformation
Please join the Michigan Alliance to Cure Cavernous Malformation Community in welcoming Dr. Anuska Andjelkovic-Zochowski, M.D., Ph.D. of Michigan Medicine who will be sharing about her research.
Dr. Anuska Andjelkovic-Zochowski’s team studies the underlying mechanisms of the blood brain barrier and lesion hyperpermeability in CCM condition, in order to identify specific targets triggering microvascular barrier instability. The doctor has also been a past collaborator with the Alliance to Cure Cavernous Malformation and will speak on her current research in this area. There will be a question and answer period at the end of the webinar as time allows. Please send questions for the Q&A to michigan@alliancetocure.org.
Cerebrovascular malformation (CCM) is characterized by thin-walled vascular cavities that may rupture. The study Dr. Andjelkovic-Zochowski will be discussing focused on the mechanism underlying vessel and lesion hyperpermeability in CCM condition and particularly, in identifying specific targets important for triggering microvascular barrier instability. This may provide a foundation for developing novel therapeutic strategies to lessen the impact of CCMs.
