Salwa El Tawil

Dr Salwa El Tawil is an External Collaborator at the School of Psychology & Neuroscience, University of Glasgow. Her research focuses on stroke pathophysiology, neuroimaging techniques, and clinical management of cerebrovascular diseases. She has contributed to pivotal studies such as the RESTART trial examining antiplatelet therapy post-intracerebral hemorrhage and the PRACTISE protocol evaluating CT imaging in ischemic stroke.

Her work integrates clinical diagnosis, neuroimaging validation, and therapeutic efficacy assessment. Key areas include optimizing stroke treatment timing, improving diagnostic accuracy via CT perfusion, and evaluating thrombectomy eligibility criteria. Dr El Tawil collaborates closely with experts like Prof. Keith Muir and Prof. Joanna Wardlaw, contributing to high-impact publications in Stroke, Lancet Neurology, and European Stroke Journal.

Her research emphasizes translating neuroimaging findings into clinical practice, with a focus on reducing stroke-related morbidity and refining evidence-based stroke care protocols.
