Lana Fani

Lana Fani is a researcher in the Department of Epidemiology at Erasmus University Medical Center (Erasmus MC). Her work focuses on understanding the epidemiological links between neurological conditions, cardiovascular risk factors, and aging. She has conducted major studies on stroke etiology, including migraine's role in cerebrovascular accidents and the predictive value of plasma biomarkers like β-amyloid and neurofilament light chain. Her research also explores thyroid status effects on cerebral circulation and post-stroke cognitive trajectories.

• Affiliations: Erasmus MC (Epidemiology)
• Key Research Areas: Stroke epidemiology, biomarker discovery, cardiovascular-neurological interfaces

Her research employs large-scale cohort studies, leveraging population data from the Netherlands to identify risk factors and biomarkers. Publications emphasize translational applications of epidemiological findings to clinical practice. Collaborations include interdisciplinary teams in neurology, endocrinology, and public health.
