Location of University of Dublin Trinity College
This is a Clinical Translational Science project in patients with asymptomatic and symptomatic carotid stenosis. The clinical PhD student, who must possess MRCPI/MRCP by 01-10-2010 and be committed to a career in Neurology/Vascular Medicine, will recruit and clinically subtype suitable patients under expert supervision.
The student will gain expertise in the management of patients with TIA, stroke and carotid and vertebral stenosis. He/she will be trained to perform careful venepuncture, platelet activation and function assays, and assessment of endothelial activation and coagulation system potential in the laboratory in the Education Centre, AMNCH, and at the Haemostasis Research Unit, St James´s Hospital.
The student will also gain expertise in colour Doppler ultrasound analysis, transcranial Doppler ultrasound monitoring, and will coordinate the establishment of a 3-Tesla MRI programme assessing carotid plaque morphology at the CAMI. The simultaneous detailed clinical, laboratory haemostatic, and multimodal neurovascular imaging assessment of patients is innovative and unique.
