معرفی
Sean Polster is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Neurological Surgery at the University of Chicago. His research focuses on neurovascular pathophysiology, particularly cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs), intracerebral hemorrhage management, and translational approaches in neurosurgery. He leads clinical trials such as the AT CASH EPOC trial testing atorvastatin for CCM-related hemorrhage prevention. His work integrates genomic profiling, molecular biology, and advanced imaging to advance understanding of neurovascular diseases.
Key interests include developing biomarkers for hemorrhage prediction, microbiome influences on vascular health, and optimizing endovascular and surgical techniques for complex neurovascular disorders. Dr. Polster collaborates extensively with researchers like Drs. Awad and Girard, contributing to studies on CCM mechanisms, clinical trial design, and stroke outcomes. His research bridges basic science and clinical practice, with a focus on improving patient outcomes through innovative therapies and diagnostic tools.
