PhD Student
Herlev Gentofte Hospital, Neurovascular Research Unit
My main area of interest is ischemic stroke, cerebral small vessel disease, and vascular dementia. As a part of my PhD, we will investigate if the medication, tadalafil, improves cerebral blood flow and cognition, in patients with cerebral small vessel disease and stroke
