The National Institute of Health (NIH) continues to fund the Brain Vascular Malformation Consortium (BVMC). The BVMC is a collection of academic medical centers, patients support groups and clinical research resources that are dedicated to conducting clinical research on different forms of brain vascular formation including Sturge-Weber syndrome. Dr. Comi is a co-investigator for BVMC 6211 project which aims to study longitudinal data to identify biomarkers and therapeutic strategies for SWS.
