The Guest Editor of this issue of Seminars in Neurology is Dr. Lauren Sansing.

Dr. Sansing is Assistant Professor of Neurology at Yale University School of Medicine. She received her Bachelor of Science degree from Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, followed by her MD with Distinction in Research from SUNY Stony Brook School of Medicine in Stony Brook, New York. She then received a Master's of Science and Translational Research from the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia in 2010. She stayed at Penn for her internship in internal medicine, neurology residency, and vascular neurology fellowship. Her first faculty appointment was at Penn, until she was recruited to the University of Connecticut Health Center in Farmington in 2010 as Assistant Professor. We then had the great fortune of recruiting her to Yale University School of Medicine in 2014, where she has established herself as a truly gifted translational physician–scientist, with a particular focus on intracerebral hemorrhage. She was an obvious choice to guest edit a Seminars issue on this important topic.

Dr. Sansing is a renowned authority in intracerebral hemorrhage and inflammation, which is the focus of her laboratory efforts. But she is far more than an accomplished basic science researcher: She is a gifted clinician and teacher, and is one of those people in the field of vascular neurology who is able to make huge impacts by her work in multiple realms. I have the great pleasure of working with Lauren frequently at Yale, and she is clearly a rising star. I'm so proud to have her on our team!

We greatly appreciate the efforts of Dr. Sansing, as well as all of the contributing authors, for their great work in this issue of Seminars, an update on intracerebral hemorrhage. The issue provides a comprehensive review, touching on the great promise that is held with ongoing research into this often devastating disease. Please enjoy this terrific issue!
