In this episode of the
Neurocritical Care Society Podcast Masterclass series, hosts
Stephan Mayer, MD, FCCM, FNCS, and Jon Rosenberg, MD, are joined by
Hooman Kamel, MD, MS, professor of neurology at Weill Cornell
Medicine, to discuss how clinical trials take shape in practice.
Dr. Kamel reflects on his path into research, the importance of
strong mentorship and what it takes to grow from early-stage
projects to large multicenter trials.
Their conversation explores practical aspects of trial design in
neurocritical care, including building robust data sets, leveraging
EMR-based tools, designing pragmatic studies and fostering
collaboration across institutions. They also discuss the Arcadia
trial and the broader mindset required to stay engaged in research,
even when results do not go as expected.
