Title: Academic Neurosurgery in DNS – Part 1: “Brain Inflammation-Bleed to Brain Tumour”
Andy’s seminar will be hosted by Professor Stuart Allan.
Date: Wednesday, 5 March 2025
Time: 14:00-15:00
Venue: Michael Smith Lecture Theatre
Abstract: This is part 1 of a two-part presentation by Andy King and Omar Pathmanaban, both academic neurosurgeons at the Manchester Centre for Clinical Neurosciences. Part 1, on 5th March, is by Andy King and describes the development of the original work of Nancy Rothwell and Stuart Allan into the role of inflammation in the role of stroke. This led to initial work on subarachnoid haemorrhage, and ultimately to the recently completed Phase 3 clinical trial, SCIL 3. The inflammatory work has extended into discovery about the role of inflammation in brain tumours, notably but not exclusively vestibular schwannoma and therefore potential therapeutic options.
