Jen Guo is an undergraduate student in her fourth and final year of Biomedical Sciences at University of Calgary (Canada). Her research focuses on ischemic stroke, TIA and infarct growth post endovascular therapy. She is particularly interested in neuroimaging (MRI and diffusion weighted imaging) and other tools on stroke evolution and brain segmentations.

Dr. Gurol, a vascular neurologist and NIH-funded researcher at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, is an international expert on atrial fibrillation and cerebral small vessel diseases of the elderly such as cerebral amyloid angiopathy, conditions that increase the risk of both hemorrhagic and ischemic cerebral events in affected individuals. Dr. Gurol leads multicenter studies in ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke prevention, especially in atrial fibrillation patients. Dr. Gurol is the NeuroCardiology Section Editor of AHA’s Stroke journal, associate editor for the Journal of Stroke, the chair of World Stroke Organization’s task force on cerebral small vessel diseases and vascular cognitive impairment, and he published over 200 articles in high impact scientific journals.
