Columbia University Irving Medical Center and its partner institution, Weill Cornell Medical Center, have run patient-oriented stroke research for more than 30 years, including stroke clinical trials, epidemiological investigations, biomarker studies, and outcomes research. Our mission is to provide cutting edge, advanced stroke care to a diverse population. With additional partner institutions across New York City, Northern New Jersey, and New York state, we perform phase 1, 2, and 3 clinical trials in all aspects of acute stroke treatment, stroke prevention, and stroke recovery.
