What is the CSC?

Created, owned and operated by its members, the Canadian Stroke Consortium (CSC) is the nation's premiere neurologist network. We are an academic alliance committed to the pursuit of anti-stroke therapies by designing and/or conducting research projects and clinical trials. Many of our members are opinion leaders in Canadian and international stroke research and clinical practice. Together with the pharmaceutical industry, our combined efforts continue to support emerging trends in CNS therapeutic development.
