ISC 2025 is proud to extend the conversation across numerous topics with a growing number of international stroke societies. The expanded collaboration supports ISC’s mission to emphasize basic, clinical and translational science and taps an impressive network of professionals in understanding stroke pathophysiology, developing effective therapies and exploring brain health and stroke recovery.

“We believe the insights and expertise of international organizations will significantly enrich the conversation,” said ISC Program Chair Lauren Hachmann Sansing, MD, MS, FAHA, FANA, professor of neurology and immunobiology at Yale University School of Medicine in New Haven, Connecticut. “Joint sessions with international organizations offer a unique platform for cross-pollination of ideas and foster collaborations that can accelerate advancements in the stroke community.”
