    Collapse Overview
    Dr. Halabi is board certified in Neurology and in Vascular Neurology. She diagnoses and treats patients hospitalized with neurovascular emergencies such as ischemic stroke and subarachnoid hemorrhage. She also founded and directs the UCSF Neurorecovery Clinic which evaluates patients recovering from acquired neurologic injuries such as concussion, traumatic brain injury, and stroke. In addition, she evaluates patients with advanced cardiovascular risk factors, vascular malformations, and genetic and autoimmune diseases with neurovascular sequelae in the UCSF Stroke Clinic. Her research interests include neural systems-based investigation of neurologic injury for biomarker and treatment target identification. She is a recipient of teaching awards from medical students and residents, including the Teaching Excellence Award for Cherished Housestaff and the Robert B. Layzer Golden Toe Award for Excellence in Neurology Resident Teaching.
