The SANS Center is a research initiative at the University of Washington that brings together scientists from various disciplines to discover new treatments for stroke and other neurological conditions. Their multidisciplinary approach focuses on research across three stages of care: before, during, and after hospitalization. They develop early detection methods using minimally-invasive techniques and machine learning, advance treatments through computational simulations and medical device development, and improve post-hospitalization quality of life. Key research areas include preventing post-stroke depression, computational simulations of aneurysm treatment, minimally-invasive genetic analysis of aneurysms, and non-invasive early detection of neurological conditions. The center is led by neurosurgeons Dr. Louis Kim and Dr. Michael Levitt, who aim to foster "home-run" ideas that can fundamentally change disease treatment.
