Although small vessel diseases (SVDs) have been recognised to be one of the major contributors of age-related brain diseases ... such as stroke, dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, there is still very limited understanding of this common disease. The key focus of our research is to improve understanding, diagnosis and treatment of SVDs. Our research encompasses clinical and pre-clinical projects, including brain and retinal imaging studies, clinical trials, animal studies and computational modelling analyses. Our work has led to important advances in understanding of the causes and factors influencing the progression of small vessel disease, imaging methods, image analysis computational mapping and rating tools, and image databanks. These allow for faster image processing and disease quantification. Therapeutic approaches developed in our Centre are now being tested in clinical trials. Our outputs include over 600 peer-reviewed publications, databases, publically available software releases and image analysis visual tools, which received recognition from most prominent scientific bodies. SVD Research comprises world-class research projects involving numerous research centres in the UK, and internationally.
