David Gaist

David Gaist is a Clinical Professor at the Department of Clinical Research, University of Southern Denmark, and affiliated with Odense University Hospital and the Research Unit of Neurology (Odense). He specializes in stroke research, cerebral hemorrhage, and antithrombotic therapies.

• Key affiliations: University of Southern Denmark, Karolinska Institutet (KI), Odense University Hospital (OUH)
• Research focus: Cerebrovascular accidents, recurrent intracerebral hemorrhages, clinical reasoning, and AI applications in stroke detection

His work spans clinical trials, cohort studies, and translational research, with significant contributions to understanding stroke mechanisms and improving diagnostic workflows using artificial intelligence. Recent studies analyze cardiac events post-thrombectomy, multimorbidity in anticoagulant-related hemorrhages, and hemorrhage recurrence patterns.

Scientific collaborations include international partnerships in Denmark, France, and other countries, focusing on neurology and antithrombotic drug safety. He co-supervised the FAST-MRI project, which optimizes MRI workflows for acute stroke using AI.
