Research Information
Dr. Jordan's multidisciplinary clinical research program focuses on pediatric stroke, stroke prevention, sickle cell disease, and studies of brain injury and cognitive function in children with congenital heart disease and type I diabetes. In addition, Dr. Jordan and the Vanderbilt team enroll children in national and international pediatric stroke studies. The pediatric stroke program, led by Dr. Jordan, is focused on improving outcome after ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke in children.
