Nishant Kumar Mishra

Nishant Kumar Mishra, MD, PhD, FRCP, FAHA, is an Assistant Professor of Neurology at Yale School of Medicine and Stroke Director at the West Haven VA Medical Center. His work bridges clinical practice and research, focusing on vascular neurology, post-stroke epilepsy, and global health initiatives through the Yale Institute of Global Health.

Research initiatives include the International Post-Stroke Epilepsy Research Consortium (IPSERC) and the International Post-Stroke Epilepsy Research Repository (IPSERR), aiming to prevent epileptogenesis after stroke. He explores biomarkers, neuroimaging, and reperfusion therapy complications.

Key article trends (2021-2025) span post-stroke epilepsy mechanisms, AI applications in stroke diagnostics, genetic risk factors, and proteomic biomarkers for hemorrhagic stroke prognosis. Collaborative studies with institutions like Stanford, UCLA, and Karolinska University highlight global partnerships.

Awardee of the Royal College of Physicians fellowship and NIH grants, he mentors trainees through the VA/Yale Advanced Postdoctoral Fellowship. Lab efforts at Yale focus on clinical protocols, thrombolysis optimization, and machine learning for stroke subtyping.
