Jan 2014 - Aug 2022
Principal Investigator leading research in the Brain Injury and Aging Laboratory. We study the effects of aging and biological sex on the pathophysiology of traumatic brain injury (TBI), and the link between TBI and Alzheimer's disease. We use advanced neuroimaging techniques to identify biomarkers of brain health and disease, and to test the effectiveness of new drug treatment strategies.
