Dr. Sehba is studying cerebral injury after subarachnoid hemorrhage, She demonstrated for the first time that anatomical and structural alterations occur in cerebral microvessels early after subarachnoid hemorrhage. Her current research investigates the mechanisms leading to structural alterations and their effect on vessel function.
