Gregory W. Albers, MD
The Coyote Foundation Professor and Professor, by courtesy, of Neurosurgery at the Stanford University Medical Center
Current Research and Scholarly Interests Our groups research focus is the acute treatment and prevention of cerebrovascular disorders. Our primary interest is the use of diffusion- and perfusion-weighted MRI to expand the treatment window for ischemic stroke. We are also conducting clinical studies of both neuroprotective and thrombolytic strategies for the treatment of acute stroke and investigating new antithrombotic strategies for stroke prevention.

Professor of Neurology at the Stanford University Medical Center
Current Research and Scholarly Interests Our research focuses on understanding disease mechanisms of stroke injury and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) as they relate to the COX-2-prostaglandin pathways. We are identifying prostaglandin receptor pathways that are involved in these disease models, and our objective is to identify which receptors will be translationally relevant in human neurological disease.

Clinical Assistant Professor, Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine
Current Research and Scholarly Interests My current clinical research involves the development of pathways for the treatment of headache both in the hospital and clinic setting. I also have a strong interest in medication overuse headache and the use of a multi-disciplinary program for treatment.

John E. Cahill Family Professor, Professor of Neurology and, by courtesy, of Neurosurgery at the Stanford University Medical Center
Current Research and Scholarly Interests My research focus is human motor control and brain pathophysiology in movement disorders. Our overall goal is to understand the role of the basal ganglia electrical activity in the pathogenesis of movement disorders. We have developed novel computerized technology to measure fine, limb and postural movement. With these we are measuring local field potentials in basal ganglia nuclei in patients with Parkinson's disease and dystonian and correlating brain signalling with motor behavior.
