Profile

My professional mission is to translate cutting‑edge neuroscience into effective therapies for patients with cerebrovascular and other neurological diseases. Following medical graduation from the University of Glasgow, specialist training in Neurology at the University of Pennsylvania, and fellowship training at Washington University in St Louis and the Medical College of Wisconsin, I have pursued a career that bridges bench science and bedside care.

I am honoured to hold the title of NIHR Senior Investigator and to lead major UK multicentre trials:

  • TRICEPS (TRanscutaneous Vagus Nerve Stimulation to enhance limb rECovery PoSt‑Stroke) – evaluating whether pairing task‑specific upper‑limb rehabilitation with movement‑activated transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation improves arm function after stroke.
  • RICFAST (Remote Ischaemic Conditioning For fATigue after STroke) – investigating whether repeated brief episodes of limb ischaemia and reperfusion can reduce debilitating post‑stroke fatigue.

Previously I founded the Division of Cerebrovascular Diseases at Michigan State University and the William & Claire Dart Stroke Center at Sparrow Health System before joining the University of Sheffield and Royal Hallamshire Hospital in 2013.

I serve as Director of the Comprehensive Cerebrovascular Research Unit (CCRU). My research has been funded by the NIH, American Heart Association, MRC, NIHR and industry.

Help Us Beat Rare Genetic Stroke Disorders

Vascular dementia, CADASIL, and COL4A1/2-related diseases are often inherited, progressive, and devastating. These disorders can cause strokes, cognitive decline, and long-term disability in both children and adults.

No disease-modifying treatments currently exist. Our lab is developing world-first gene-block and gene-replacement therapies that offer real hope to affected families. Traditional research funding often overlooks rare conditions, making philanthropic support absolutely vital to accelerate these breakthroughs.

How You Can Help

  • Fund a PhD student or postdoc working on CADASIL or COL4A1 therapy
  • Support development of gene therapy vectors for testing in preclinical models
  • Sponsor patient registries and biobank infrastructure
  • Partner with us to launch early-phase clinical trials

If you or your organisation would like to make a contribution or explore partnership opportunities, please email me directly at arshad.majid@sheffield.ac.uk.

Every contribution, large or small, drives innovation and hope for people affected by genetic stroke disorders.
