The Canon Stroke and Vascular Research Center is located in Buffalo, New York.

The world-renowned University at Buffalo Canon Stroke & Vascular Research Center focuses on research related to the diagnosis and treatment of vascular disease through minimally invasive image-guided interventions, improved imaging modalities and devices, and better understanding of hemodynamics. The overall goal is to have innovations emerging from the center quickly translated into clinical practice and implemented by industry so that they may directly benefit patients. 

Our History

Established in 1991

Located in the Clinical Translational Research Center

Supported by Toshiba Corporation

Our lab was co-founded by pioneering neurosurgeon, L. Nelson Hopkins, MD.

Since 2012, our location above the Gates Vascular Institute, of the Kaleida Health System, allows for unique opportunities for collaboration between physicians and scientists.

Today, the Canon Stroke & Vascular Research Center (CSVRC) is a quintessential example of multidisciplinary cooperation & partnership. Our research team is composed of an eclectic mix of investigators, representing diverse yet complementary areas of expertise in basic sciences, radiation physics, biomedical engineering, and neurosurgery.  We have the synergy necessary to advance the art and science of minimally invasive endovascular therapy into the next century.

On the Cutting Edge

Imaging

Our innovative imaging techniques have proven to increase resolution and lower radiation exposure. 

Device Design


We first developed complex 3D printed vascular phantoms which allow for extensive in-vitro testing of neurovascular devices.


Hemodynamic Investigation

Our biomedical and mechanical engineering team is focused on computational fluid dynamics, cardiovascular mechanics, image-based modeling and pattern recognition.   

Our Mission

  • To explore and develop new methods of repairing stroke-producing blood vessel abnormalities of the brain and spine using minimally invasive endovascular techniques
  • To advance knowledge of blood flow dynamics influencing vascular disease and affect therapeutic outcomes

The Daruma Doll

Our logo is an abstract representation of a Daruma doll, a Japanese folk symbol that represents hard work and perseverance. The round-bottomed doll cannot be permanently knocked down. It reminds us to remain focused on our goal of preventing and curing stroke.
