What we aim to study...Our research revolves around investigating mechanisms underlying consciousness, coma, and global stroke with a focus on cardiac arrest (CA) and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Our lab is the first cardiac arrest and resuscitation lab at UC Irvine, incorporating a combination of basic science, translational, and clinical research aspects. Since the Principal Investigator (Dr. Yama Akbari) is a practicing neurointensivist in the Neuro-Intensive Care Unit (Neuro-ICU) of the UC Irvine Medical Center, our lab is closely intertwined with unmet clinical needs of patients suffering from acute brain injury, an area of drastic need for research

SUPPORT OUR EFFORTSCountless patients in the world suffer from disorders of consciousness, such as coma. Coma can be caused many different types of brain injury, including trauma, stroke, or cardiac arrest. The adverse effects caused by such life-threatening brain injury leads to great suffering for both patients and their loved ones. The only way to innovate new therapies for patients suffering from such severe acute brain injury, including cardiac arrest, is through fundamental, translational research. We are therefore grateful to the generosity of individual donors that are motivated to help make a difference.
