Welcome to the International Stroke Genomics Consortium

The International Stroke Genomics Consortium (ISGC) was created in April 2007 by a group of 16 investigators from Europe and North America interested in stroke genomics research. Since then, the ISGC has held one international workshop every six months, hosted by ISGC members from around the world, and has become an international, multidisciplinary network of more than 200 stroke genomics investigators, representing over 38 countries in 6 continents.
