Prof Alastair Webb research group is focussed on the physiological relationship between blood pressure, cerebrovascular physiology and stroke risk. He is an associate professor and Wellcome Trust CRCD Fellow at the Wolfson Centre for Prevention of Stroke and Dementia, University of Oxford. He completed his DPhil under the guidance of Professor Peter Rothwell in 2013. His early work used meta-analyses of randomised controlled clinical trials to demonstrate that different antihypertensive medications have parallel effects on blood pressure variability and stroke risk. He subsequently established ongoing physiological assessments within the flagship ‘OXVASC’ study to identify novel physiological indices that predict the future risk of stroke, chronic cerebrovascular injury and cognitive impairment. His current work continues to use multi-modal methods of assessing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular physiology (systemic human physiology, transcranial ultrasound, MRI imaging) to identify novel cardiovascular and cerebrovascular indices that predict cerebrovascular injury and cognitive decline within OXVASC and the UK Biobank study, and the effects of potential treatments in randomised controlled trials (TREAT@SVDs, OxHARP). He is an active member of ESO, as the Co-Chair of the Secondary Guidelines Committee and as the Chair of the ESO Education Committee.
