The #2 cause of death worldwide is stroke. Most strokes happen when a blood clot forms and blocks a blood vessel in the brain. Doctors currently use specific therapies that dissolve the clot, allowing blood flow to be returned to the brain, and hopefully, allowing recovery
However, such therapies are associated with severe, sometimes life-threatening adverse bleeding complications. Christoph’s research uses nanotechnology to improve how well this medicine works, while reducing the risk of any side effects.
