The Guest Editor of this issue of Seminars in Neurology on Advanced Cerebrovascular Disease Management, is Jason Mackey, MD MS. Dr. Mackey is Assistant Professor of Neurology, Director of the Cerebrovascular Outcomes Center, and Associate Director of the Stroke Program in the Indiana University School of Medicine. Dr. Mackey graduated with honors from Milligan College (Carter County, TN), was named the Outstanding Biology Student, the Scientific Learning Outstanding Student, and honored with the Benjamin Chambers, MD Award. He was also an outstanding student and Resident at the Indiana University School of Medicine. He then went to the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine for a Vascular Neurology Fellowship followed by a Stroke Research Fellowship. In 2011, he earned a Masters of Science in Clinical and Translational Research from the University of Cincinnati. He received the 2011 AHA/ASA Mordecai Y.T. Globus New Investigator Award. Dr. Mackey is the principal investigator of several research studies on outcomes in cerebrovascular disease. He has published several excellent articles and editorials in peerreviewed journals.

Dr. Mackey is also a strong advocate for neurology. He has participated in the Palatucci Advocacy Leadership Forum and Neurology on the Hill. He is a member of the Government Relations Committee of the American Academy of Neurology. He has brought Congressman to the Neuroscience Center to educate them about neurology, and includes Residents in his advocacy activities and inspires them to advocate for neurologists as well. Dr. Mackey was my Resident. His patient evaluations were outstanding and his assessments were scholarly. He is now my colleague. He is tirelessly dedicated to improving patient care through his scholarly activities, education, and his clinical work. For someone so early in his career, he has accomplished so much. When I asked him to be the Guest Editor, he told me that he wanted to invite the “future stars in stroke,” to contribute manuscripts to this issue. We are grateful to Dr. Mackey and to all of the contributors to this issue of Seminars in Neurology. For me, this will always be a memorable experience to have worked with Dr. Mackey and the other young “stars in stroke.”
