Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a common and often devastating health problem. Affecting over 2.5M individuals in the US each year, TBI is a complex and heterogenous disorder. Using novel and translational approaches we aim to further understand the detrimental acute and evolving neuropathologies of TBI, including mechanisms of white matter degeneration and pathological permeability of the blood brain barrier.
OPEN POSITIONS
