Michael Chopp PhD, FAHA, FESO

Dr. Michael Chopp is Vice Chairman for Research of the Department of Neurology, Scientific Director of the Henry Ford Neuroscience Institute, and is the Zoltan J. Kovacs Chair in Neuroscience Research. His research has primarily focused on cellular and molecular biology of ischemic cell injury, the pathophysiology of stroke, traumatic brain injury, peripheral neuropathy, multiple sclerosis, and glioma, combination thrombolytic and neuro and vascular protective therapies for stroke, mechanisms of neuroprotection, cell-based and pharmacological neurorestorative therapies for stroke, traumatic brain restorative therapies for stroke, traumatic brain injury and neurodegenerative disease, molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying neurogenesis and angiogenesis and the induction of brain plasticity leading to functional and behavioral recovery after neural injury, treatment of glioma and breast cancer, magnetic resonance imaging.
