About
David S. Liebeskind is a leading figure in stroke neurology and neurovascular imaging, whose work has fundamentally reshaped our understanding of cerebral hemodynamics and acute ischemic stroke. His research centers on advanced neuroimaging, particularly perfusion imaging and collateral circulation, where he has pioneered methods to identify patients who may benefit from late-window thrombectomy. Liebeskind’s landmark studies on the "collateral clock" concept have been cited thousands of times, directly influencing international guidelines for stroke treatment. He has also been instrumental in evaluating novel endovascular technologies, such as the CorPath GRX robotic system for cerebral aneurysm embolization, demonstrating the feasibility and safety of robotic-assisted neurointervention. As Director of the Neurovascular Imaging Research Core at UCLA, his work bridges imaging biomarkers and clinical outcomes, with over 500 peer-reviewed publications and an h-index exceeding 100. His contributions have earned him numerous accolades, including the American Heart Association’s Stroke Council Award, and he remains a sought-after mentor for young investigators exploring the frontiers of neurovascular disease.
