Funded Activity Summary

Brain arteriovenous malformations are rupture-prone blood vessels that cause stroke in children and young adults. One third of patients have no current treatment options. We aim to develop new medicines that cause blockage of the abnormal vessels, thus preventing them from bleeding and causing stroke. Focused radiation is used to produce molecular changes in the abnormal vessels; these molecules are then the target for the new medicines. We will develop several new drugs for clinical testing.
