Event Topic:
Updated BIONews and a video: Brain Power: How We’re Winning the Fight Against Stroke—and What It Means for Your Heal

Event Description:
Thanks to transformative work at Stanford, stroke treatment has undergone a revolution—one that could make a real difference in your life. For decades, stroke patients had a narrow three-hour window to receive treatment, yet today, groundbreaking research led by Dr. Albers has changed that entirely. By pioneering advanced imaging techniques that show which brain tissue can be saved and improving methods to remove clots, he helped extend that window to a full 24 hours—a breakthrough that’s giving patients here and everywhere not just a chance at survival, but at full recovery. In this talk, Dr. Albers will take you behind the scenes of this discovery: how it came about, what it means for stroke care today, and—most importantly—the practical steps you can take to reduce your own risk of stroke. You’ll leave informed, empowered, and equipped with knowledge that could help you or someone you love.
