Nishant K. Mishra, MD, PhD, FRCP, FESO, FAHA, is a stroke neurologist at Yale University School of Medicine's main hospital in New Haven and the Stroke Director at the West Haven Veteran Affairs Medical Center. He enjoys serving veterans and making a meaningful contribution to their lives. Dr. Mishra enrolled in Government Medical College/ Maharashtra University of Health Sciences in July 1999. He finished medical school in 2003 and his internship in January 2005.
Dr. Mishra's journey in stroke medicine started in 2005 at the Lilavati Hospital and Research Center, Bandra, Mumbai, where he found Praful M Dalal, MD, and Shirish M Hastak, MD, as his mentors, who introduced him to the art of clinical neurology, particularly vascular neurology. Dr. Dalal would tell him how he extracted tissue plasminogen activator from blood during his time at Oxford, studied the vascular anatomy by injecting dyes in the human brain, and how his approach was shaped working with his mentor Miller Fisher a long time ago. Young, enthusiastic, and focused, Dr. Mishra began looking for opportunities and went to Lausanne, known for the Lausanne Stroke Registry, in 2006. The Swiss Government fully funded this, and he learned clinical stroke and behavioral neurology under the mentorship of Antonio Carota, MD, Jean Marie Annoni, and many others.
Dr. Mishra was selected by Kennedy Lees, MD, at Glasgow, where he was fully funded to conduct his clinical research at the Western Infirmary Hospital, Glasgow. He was fully supported by the University of Glasgow and the Scottish Government's ORS funding. Through this, Dr. Mishra successfully defended a PhD thesis on using thrombolytic therapy beyond recommendations in acute ischemic stroke.
Subsequently, Dr. Greg Albers recruited him to Stanford, where he closely worked with experts like Maarten Lansberg, MD, PhD, and Soren Christensen, PhD, to develop expertise in perfusion image-based stroke outcome prognostication.
