\nIn Bordeaux, the VBHI brings together top research and clinical expertise from neuroscience, public health and cardiology to carry out translational programmes that from go from patients to public health policies. The VBHI\u2019s approaches are based on cutting-edge technologies and infrastructures (omics, AI, imaging, etc.) to invent innovative models for the prevention of cerebrovascular diseases and to share them with the scientific community and as many people as possible.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text css=””]Stroke and dementia are two of the VBHI\u2019s key targets. These extremely common neurological vascular diseases are one of the main threats to brain health and are strongly affected by health inequalities.<\/p>\n

Stroke is the 2nd leading cause of death worldwide, affecting 100 million people. Dementia affects 57 million people, a figure that could triple by 2050.<\/p>\n

Since its inception, the Institute has been designed to be part of a global network of expertise encompassing its partners in the South, particularly in Africa, to maximise scientific progress and ensure that the world’s most vulnerable populations benefit from it.<\/p>\n

The VBHI, an internationally active centre of excellence for research, prevention, care, training and technological innovation<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”intro”]As a pioneer in the fight against the most common neurological diseases, the VBHI is pursuing four major missions to achieve its goal of preventing stroke and dementia and promoting healthy brain ageing:[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text css=””]1 – Precision public health approaches that take into account the diversity of people and the environments they live in.<\/p>\n
