We are a multi-disciplinary research facility under the University at Buffalo's Department of Neurosurgery which joins together researchers and their students from a variety of departments such as Medical Physics, Biomedical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering and others. We perform our own grant-funded research projects as well as collaborating with industry leaders and other researchers in academia from across the globe. In 2020, we also expanded our capabilities into GLP compliant studies. We were created as a result of a collaboration between Dr. L.N. Hopkins with the Toshiba Corporation and continue to receive significant support from what is now Canon Medical Systems. Our Goals: - Develop innovative imaging and analysis techniques as well as minimally invasive endovascular approaches to diagnose and treat vascular abnormalities, particularly those that lead to stroke or aneurysms. - Advance knowledge regarding the underlying flow of dynamics that promote vascular disease and affect therapeutic outcomes. - Promote an international exchange of research, education, business information, and personnel through joint ventures. - Demonstrate the benefits of collaborative ventures between industry and academic institutions. - Establish Western New York as a pre-eminent international center for stroke research, education, and clinical practice.

Great work, Kyle Williams!
Kyle Williams, Stephen Rudin MD, Daniel Bednarek, Ammad Baig, Adnan Siddiqui, MD, PhD, Ciprian Ionita, and our team conducted a recent study that introduces a novel approach to neurovascular diagnostics that integrates artificial intelligence with physics modeling using Physics-informed Neural Networks (PINNs). This method leverages patient-specific vascular models, providing a significant improvement over traditional computational fluid dynamics (CFD). 🧠 Study Insights: ◾ Efficiency and Accuracy: Our PINNs method calculates high-resolution velocity and pressure fields in blood vessels without the manual data processing required by conventional CFD, thereby enhancing diagnostic efficiency and accuracy. ◾ Application: Successfully applied to cases such as aneurysms and carotid bifurcations, this technique supports more precise and personalized treatment planning for patients with neurovascular pathologies. By combining AI with detailed physical models, our approach streamlines the diagnostic process and enhances the accuracy of neurovascular assessments. This innovation paves the way for more advanced and patient-specific therapeutic strategies. We see the potential this brings to neurovascular healthcare and invite collaboration and discussion from peers in the field.

We’re so proud to have Dr. Tutino as part of our Center! Congratulations, Vince!
It’s wonderful when our mission to transform the treatment of brain aneurysms leads to meaningful advances in the field. In 2017, Dr. Vincent Tutino at the University of Buffalo received a BAF Research Grant for novel blood tests to screen for unruptured intracranial aneurysms. Just this week it was announced that his Company, Neurovascular Diagnostics, was awarded $2.9 million in NIH funding to continue development of AneuScreen, a blood test to identify markers for potential ruptures and that aims to enhance early detection and aid in treatment decisions. We want to congratulate Vincent Tutino for his breakthrough research and thank him for his continued commitment to treating this devastating condition. Click here, https://lnkd.in/edxB8Wvt
