Dr. Solander's research focuses on neurointerventional radiology with emphasis on stroke treatment, intracranial aneurysms, vascular malformations, and endovascular therapies. His work bridges clinical practice with translational research in neurointerventional procedures and pharmacogenomics. Recent publications demonstrate his expertise in optimizing antiplatelet therapy based on genetic markers for patients undergoing neurointerventional procedures.

His publication record spanning over two decades shows a consistent focus on cerebrovascular interventions, with recent work emphasizing personalized medicine approaches, radiation reduction techniques in imaging, and outcomes analysis of various endovascular procedures for stroke and aneurysm treatment. The research demonstrates methodological diversity including clinical trials, retrospective cohort studies, and case reports.

As Neurointerventional Radiology Fellowship Director, Dr. Solander plays a key role in training the next generation of specialists in this subspecialty. His clinical practice focuses on the full spectrum of neurointerventional procedures including mechanical thrombectomy for stroke, aneurysm treatment with flow diverters, and management of complex vascular malformations.
