Susan Fagan

Dr. Fagan presents, “Angiogenesis as a target for recovery after stroke” on April 2, 2015 at 2:00pm in the College of Veterinary Medicine, Main Building, Room 311.

Dr. Susan Fagan has been a professor of pharmacy at the University of Georgia and adjunct professor of neurology at the Medical College of Georgia in Augusta, Georgia since 1999. In 2007, she became associate department head and assistant dean for the UGA pharmacy program at MCG. In August of 2008, Dr. Fagan was appointed Albert W. Jowdy Professor of Pharmacy Care.

About Dr. Fagan’s Research
The next five years will be focused on determining the mechanisms of accomplishing vascular protection after acute ischemic stroke and the impact of vascular protection on functional outcome. The specific goals are: to determine the contribution of acute blood pressure lowering to recovery after ischemic stroke; to determine the impact of vascular protection on neuronal survival; to determine the contribution of premorbid vascular health to recovery after ischemia and reperfusion.
