Dr. Khatri

She’s opening doors to improved stroke care.

Looking back at her own father’s misdiagnosed stroke in Chicago in 2006, Dr. Pooja Khatri, co-director of the UC Gardner Neuroscience Institute Stroke Center of Excellence, wonders if local access to clinical trials might have affected the outcome. A recognized expert in the development of novel stroke therapies, Dr. Khatri cites such community access as one of the unique benefits the UC Stroke Team provides. It’s part of the team’s long tradition of interdisciplinary collaboration–opening doors to new ideas and treatments, and unlocking the next generation of standard stroke care.
