Marc Fisher

Marc Fisher, MD is a Professor of Neurology at the University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School and holds additional affiliations with the T.H. Chan School of Medicine's Neurology and Radiology departments. He specializes in acute stroke therapy, neuroprotection strategies, and translational research in cerebrovascular diseases.

Education:

• Bachelor of Science (BS) from Cornell University
• Doctor of Medicine (MD) from State University of New York

Research Interests: His work focuses on optimizing stroke treatment protocols, including endovascular interventions, anticoagulant therapies, and telemedicine applications. He investigates ischemic penumbra dynamics, neuroprotective agents, and stroke outcome improvement strategies. Fisher’s research bridges experimental models and clinical trials, emphasizing real-world applicability for acute stroke care.

Publications: His 100+ publications span stroke epidemiology, neuroimaging biomarkers, and drug development. Key themes include anticoagulant safety in nursing home populations, risk stratification for endovascular treatments, and extending reperfusion therapy windows. His work frequently addresses translational challenges in stroke care and policy implications for clinical practice.

Collaborations: He collaborates with co-authors like Nils Henninger (neuroimaging) and Majaz Moonis (stroke intervention), advancing understanding of cerebral perfusion and thrombolytic efficacy. His research teams explore granulocyte-colony stimulating factor applications and normobaric hyperoxia therapies.

Labs/Teams: Fisher leads experimental stroke modeling initiatives and clinical trial networks focused on acute stroke treatment optimization.
