Who are We?
StroCar is a research collaborative based in Singapore, comprising Neurologists, Cardiologists, Residents and Medical Students interested in heart-brain research. Our aim is to facilitate multi-centre and multi-national research collaborations to deliver novel, high quality and high impact research that will transform patient care in the realm of cardiovascular and brain health.
Through data-driven science and research, StroCar investigators utilise methods including systematic reviews, multiomics, novel imaging techniques, deep phenotyping and machine learning to drive hypotheses.
Our Team
Founded in 2019, StroCar started off as a small research group comprising researchers with passion and interests in heart-brain interactions. Currently, it comprises 3 principal investigators, 5 senior investigators and more than 30 researchers.
