Assistant Professor, Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine

Biography

Dr. Yalcin worked as a post-doctoral research fellow for three years at Massachusetts General Hospital/Harvard Medical School and Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital/Harvard Medical School with focus on cortical spreading depolarization and transcranial magnetic stimulation on stroke recovery. She completed her residency training in neurology at Tufts Medical School in Boston, MA and her fellowship training in neurocritical care at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, IL. Her main research and clinical interest is the role of cortical spreading depolarization in SAH, TBI and acute stroke patients.
