Dr. MerryJean N Losso serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Neurology at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine, specializing in Stroke and Vascular Neurology. Her clinical practice encompasses general neurology with focused expertise in cerebral small vessel disease, stroke of unknown origin, migraine disorders, stroke risk reduction, and initiatives to expand access to neurologic care for underserved populations.
Research interests center on cerebrovascular disease mechanisms, particularly cerebral small vessel disease and stroke pathophysiology. Dr. Losso investigates sex-based differences in disease markers, neuroimaging discrepancies in complex stroke cases involving comorbidities like heart transplantation, and interdisciplinary connections between nutrition and infectious disease epidemiology. Her work bridges clinical neurology with public health applications to improve stroke prevention and management strategies.
Analysis of recent publications (2021-2025) reveals a strong concentration on cerebral small vessel disease and stroke diagnostics, with growing interdisciplinary collaboration spanning neurology, radiology, and epidemiology. Key trends include methodological innovations in neuroimaging interpretation, sex-specific biomarker analysis, and exploration of dietary factors in global health contexts, demonstrating both clinical depth and expanding research scope.
