A part of the University of California, San Francisco, the Center for Cerebrovascular Research is a core group of faculty and staff pursuing various lines of inquiry in clinical neuroscience. Our main laboratories and facilities are located at the San Francisco General Hospital campus. There are also clinical research offices located on the Parnassus campus. The theme is integrative physiology of the cerebral circulation with special reference to cerebral vascular malformations and occlusive cerebrovascular disease. In addition, there are allied and collaborating faculty in a number of neuroscience and vascular biology fields.

The research work, generously supported by NINDS and the UCSF home departments—Anesthesia, Neurological Surgery and Neurology—is made possible by an outstanding interdiscipinary collaboration between clinical, translational and basic science investigators. In these pages you can explore some of the activities underway.

Patients and relatives searching for information on AVM (Arteriovenous malformation) can find out more about the disease and our research by reading our information on "what is an AVM"?

The CCR is headquartered in San Francisco
General Hospital's historic Building 10
