Expertise
The research in my laboratory focuses on developing novel therapeutic interventions for traumatic brain injury and spinal cord injury.
We are identifying the biochemical changes that underlie the pathology in the CNS after trauma using molecular biology, biochemistry, and electrophysiology techniques.
We are developing therapeutic strategies targeting maladaptive electrophysiological alterations, inflammation, and intracellular biochemical signaling pathways that are misregulated during chronic traumatic brain injury.
The ultimate aim of the laboratory is to translate our preclinical studies to the clinic by testing our novel therapeutic interventions validated in the laboratory in chronic TBI survivors.
