Issa Warsame directs the acute stroke team at a regional comprehensive stroke center. His clinical research examines ischemic stroke mechanisms, cellular injury during reduced cerebral perfusion, and emergency intervention protocols for severe arterial blockages. Within the hospital, he evaluates long-term patient recovery following emergent catheter-based procedures and works to refine diagnostic neuroimaging pathways. He also teaches clinical neurology fellows during acute inpatient evaluations. He received a BS in biology from North Carolina State University and an MD from Western Michigan University Homer Stryker M.D. School of Medicine. Living in Tybee Island, Georgia, Warsame enjoys kayaking on quiet local lakes and tidal rivers when off duty.
