- Neurovascular Unit
- Neurodegenerative Disease Mechanisms
- Stroke-Induced Inflammation
- Microbiome-Brain Interactions
Dr. Iadecola has pioneered understanding of neurovascular dysfunction in Alzheimer's disease and demonstrated the role of innate immunity in ischemic brain injury. His research employs advanced models to study hypertension, dietary influences (e.g., salt), and vascular oxidative stress in cognitive impairment.
Recent work focuses on:
- Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy (2025)
- Hypertension-Induced Cognitive Decline (2025)
- Systemic Determinants of Brain Aging (2024)
- ApoE4-Linked Vascular Dysfunction (2024)
Scientific accolades include:
- McHenry Award (AAN)
- Jacob Javits Awards (NIH)
- Willis Award (AHA)
- Zenith Fellow (Alzheimer’s Association)
- Clarivate Highly Cited Researcher
He serves on editorial boards for Circulation Research, Stroke, Journal of Neuroscience, and Annals of Neurology, and holds leadership roles in major research organizations. His work has been featured in Nature Neuroscience (2023) and informs clinical guidelines through American Heart Association scientific statements.
