Massachusetts General Hospital
Dr. Jonathan Rosand is a vascular and critical care neurologist at MassGeneral-Brigham, Professor of Neurology at Harvard and Associate Member of the Broad Institute. An internationally renowned scientist, clinician, educator, mentor and visionary leader, Dr. Rosand has created a legacy of multidisciplinary teams that are successfully tackling some of the most pressing challenges in brain disease. His research program in cerebrovascular health, launched over 20 years ago, has been a world leader in high-throughput genetic, imaging and epidemiological studies of stroke. In 2007 Dr Rosand launched the International Stroke Genetics Consortium to bring together the world’s pre-eminent stroke investigators and created the Cerebrovascular Disease Knowledge Portal to share data widely. After founding Mass General’s Division of Neurocritical Care and building it into one of the nation’s top programs, Dr. Rosand stepped down to establish the McCance Center for Brain Health with Rudy Tanzi and Greg Fricchione. He is now leveraging his extensive global collaborations, his network of former trainees, the rigorous science performed by his team at MGB, along with the lessons he has learned from a life devoted to caring for patients, to launch the Global Brain Care Coalition. The Coalition is an international network of outstanding academic health centers and their partners who have committed to a joint goal of reducing new cases of dementia, stroke and depression by 10% in ten years and 30% by 2050.
