Prof. Kamran Ikram is a Full Professor at Erasmus MC, affiliated with both the Department of Neurology and the Department of Epidemiology at Erasmus University Rotterdam. His research focuses on cerebrovascular diseases, cognitive disorders, and Alzheimer’s disease, with a strong emphasis on epidemiological and population-based studies. He leads investigations into risk factors for neurological and cardiovascular conditions, including the interplay between lifestyle factors, genetic predispositions, and disease outcomes.

Key research interests include the epidemiology of stroke, dementia prevention, and the application of biomarkers in predicting cardiovascular and neurological outcomes. He collaborates extensively on international projects, such as the Cross-Cohort Collaboration Consortium, to explore social and lifestyle correlates of brain health.

Ikram has supervised 8 academic works and contributed to over 344 research outputs, including peer-reviewed articles in high-impact journals like Maturitas, Alzheimer’s and Dementia, and JACC: Cardiovascular Imaging. His work bridges clinical neurology with population health, addressing critical gaps in understanding disease mechanisms and preventive strategies.
