Her research focuses on: Stroke and neural regeneration. He is the author of many articles published in several reputed journals.
Research Interest
Research in Dr Clarkson's lab focuses on post-stroke neuroprotection and regeneration and repair mechanisms. My research is directed at promoting recovery of function following a stroke. The approaches used involve novel combinations of intensive rehabilitation, drug therapy and more recently stem cells to enhance brain repair processes. This utilises behavioural, electrophysiological, optical imaging and anatomical measures to assess recovery after stroke.
