SIH Neurologist Andrea Loggini, MD

Research & Innovation in Stroke Care

At the SIH Brain & Spine Institute, advancing the future of neurology begins with discovery. Through our participation in StrokeNet and multiple National Institutes of Health (NIH)–funded research projects, we are contributing to groundbreaking studies aimed at preventing strokes, improving acute treatment, and enhancing recovery outcomes for patients across our region.

Clinical research allows us to bring cutting-edge therapies directly to our patients—translating science into care that makes a real difference. Just as importantly, our team is committed to supporting patients and their families through every phase of recovery, offering not only advanced treatment options but also compassionate guidance along the way.

Dr. Andrea Loggini, Neurology Clerkship Director for Southern Illinois University School of Medicine in Carbondale, leads our research and education initiatives with a deep passion for mentoring future physicians. A dedicated clinician-scientist, Dr. Loggini has co-authored more than 40 peer-reviewed journal articles and continues to inspire the next generation of neurologists through his teaching and investigative work. His commitment to learning, discovery, and patient-centered innovation embodies the mission of the SIH Brain & Spine Institute—to bring the best of modern neuroscience to southern Illinois.
