As a clinician-scientist, Dr. Rost has devoted her research to the neuroimaging of cerebrovascular diseases, the role of genetics in cerebral ischemia, and outcome prediction following acute stroke. She is the author of numerous publications, the medical editor of the Harvard Medical School's Special Health Report on Stroke, and Associate Editor of journal Stroke. Currently serving as Overall Principal Investigator of DISCOVERY, a landmark study investigating the mechanisms of post-stroke cognitive impairment and dementia with a goal to develop potential targets for personalized medicine and dramatically reduce the rates of cognitive and functional disability in high-risk US populations.
