The Brain Bleed: Let’s Talk about Intracerebral Hemorrhaging With Dr. Michael James on 11/02/2021
Dr. Michael James, MD, joined the faculty in the Department of Anesthesiology at Duke University in 2006, following residencies in neurology and anesthesiology with fellowships in neurocritical care, neuroanesthesia, and vascular neurology. While maintaining an active clinical practice in neuroanesthesiology and neurocritical care, he spent several years in the Multidisciplinary Neuroprotection Laboratories pursuing translatable mechanisms for modifying neuro-inflammation after intracerebral hemorrhage and brain trauma. After developing multiple in vitro and in vivo models of acute brain injury, Dr. James’s group evaluated the potential for modulating the brain-body’s endogenous response to injury through apoliprotein E and gonadal hormones. Now as part of the Translational Acute Brain Injury Research Center and the Duke Clinical Research Institute, he has been the principal investigator for multiple large, multi-center intracerebral hemorrhage and brain trauma trials funded by the National Institutes of Health and industry partners.
