Concussion & Traumatic Brain Injury
Our experts in concussion and traumatic brain injury (TBI) are diverse professionals in the fields of neurology, epidemiology, neuropathology, athletic training, nursing, pediatrics, and more.
Some examples of our research in action are: reducing concussions by changing collegiate football kickoff rules (Stop It), improving concussion care through real-time monitoring of symptoms (Fix It), and examining the relationships between TBI and subsequent conditions like postpartum depression (Live On).
