Summary
- Dr. Ethan Winkler is a dual fellowship-trained cerebrovascular neurosurgeon who provides comprehensive endovascular and open microsurgical care for vascular disorders of the brain, neck or spine. These conditions include brain aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, cavernous malformations, arteriovenous fistulas, Moyamoya disease, stroke, and carotid artery disease. Dr. Winkler's research focuses on understanding the biological basis of debilitating diseases that result in stroke with an emphasis on vascular malformations and aneurysms. He leads the Vascular Anomalies & Stroke Computation (VASC) Laboratory at UCSF. The lab brings together genomic, stem cell, and bioengineering technologies to understand the cell-specific genetic mechanisms that regulate the brain's vasculature in health and disease. To translate these findings back to the clinic, we are also developing new technologies, such as endovascular biopsy, to inform and to develop new, state-of-the-art precision therapeutics to reverse cerebrovascular pathology.
