Neurology: Thought Leaders
Professor Stefan Schwab of Germany, Professor Jacques De Reuck of Belgium and Professor Kurt Jellinger of Austria are among the foremost thought leaders in the field of neurology in Europe. These and other findings are outlined below.
Euro Neurology 2020
- The Euro Neurology and Neurosurgery Congress is the leading conference for neurology and neurosurgeons in Europe.
- Euro Neurology 2020 targets neurologists, neurosurgeons, neuroscientists, neuroradiologists, neuro-oncologists, students, researchers, scholars, professors, business partners and other professionals in the field.
- The conference will be held in Paris this March 26-27, 2020.
- The conference features the foremost thought leaders and experts in the fields as keynote speakers.
- The neurology thought leaders outlined below are the primary speakers in the Euro Neurology 2020 conference.
Stefan Schwab
- Stefan Schwab is Professor of Neurology as well as Director and Chair of the Department of Neurology at Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg in Germany.
- He is also President of the European Stroke Research Network for Hypothermia (EuroHYP), German Neurocritical Care Society, and a founding member of the American Neurocritical Care Society.
- He has received numerous national and international awards for his groundbreaking research on stroke.
- Professor Schwab has written and co-authored over 200 publications on neurological and cerebrovascular diseases in scientific journals including Stroke, the European Journal of Neurology, Experimental Neurology and others.
- Professor Schwab's main research interests include stroke diagnostics, MRI, cerebral ischaemia, brain lesions, neuroprotection and pharmacokinetics among others.
- His recent work in the past 2 years was focused on advancing understanding and treatment of ischemic stroke.
- In April 2019, he co-authored the study "Therapeutic Hypothermia for Acute Ischaemic Stroke" published in the European Stroke Journal.
- He also co-authored the paper "Heart Failure in Ischemic Stroke" and its relevance for acute care published in the American Heart Association journal last September 2019.
- Professor Schwab recently co-authored the results of a 120-case study of idarucizumab in treatment of ischemic stroke published in the International Journal of Stroke this January 2020.
Jacques De Reuck
