Bart van der Worp

He has been (co-)Chief Investigator of the randomised clinical trials HAMLET, PAIS, COOLIST, and VAST and is (co-)Chief Investigator of PRECIOUS (www.precious-trial.eu), APACHE-AF (www.apache-af.nl), and MR ASAP.

Paul Nederkoorn
Dr. Paul Nederkoorn is stroke neurologist and clinical epidemiologist at the Amsterdam University Medical Centers (Amsterdam UMC), at the AMC location. This large comprehensive stroke center treats approximately 1200 stroke patients per year and performs over 200 intra-arterial trombectomy procedures per year. The core of the research work of the team of Dr. Nederkoorn is patient oriented studies in stroke, focusing on clinical burning questions in stroke that can be answered with pragmatic, investigator driven studies. An example is the recently finished Preventive Antibiotics in Stroke Study (PASS), a study that we designed after seeing so many post-stroke infections worsening our patients in real life. Dr. Nederkoorn is also doing research and is clinical expert in carotid artery disease.
