Prof. Audebert is a neurologist with a research focus on clinical stroke health care. He is member of the boards of directors of the Center for Stroke Research Berlin (CSB) and of the German Competence Network Stroke. He is heading the Dept. of Neurology at Charitt Campus Benjamin Franklin in Berlin. He studied at the Ludwigs-Maximilians-University in Munich and completed his thesis on “Psychological and neurological complications after cardiac transplantation”. Work experiences in several academic and non-academic hospitals let him get deep insight in different forms of clinical practice in vascular neurology.

Prof. Audebert initiated and coordinated the Bavarian TeleStroke network TEMPiS including two tertiary stroke centers and 14 regional hospitals with newly established TeleStroke Units. Several scientific evaluations of the network showed that the implementation of Telestroke Untis was associated with improved stroke management in community hospitals, safe and more frequent application of i.v. thrombolysis and better outcome of patients. During his time in London, he established a mobile Telestroke network in St Thomas’ hospital that has become the model for multiple TeleStroke networks in the UK.

After his move to Berlin in 2008, he has been involved in several projects including pre-hospital and inpatient stroke care as well as secondary prevention. A new support program for patients after minor stroke or TIA has been developed by his research group and is currently been evaluated in a large multicenter randomized trial.

He also initiated the Stroke-Emergency-Mobile (STEMO) project exploring the effect of a specialized ambulance for hyperacute stroke care with integrated CT-scanner and point-of-care laboratory. A large controlled study is going to be finalized and presented within the next months.
