My career has been focused on merging principles of clinical neurology and critical care medicine. My research focus is to identify biomarkers during the resuscitation phase of patients with acute brain injuries that are determinants of lesion repair, restoration of function, and recovery of consciousness. This has led to both in vivo & ex vivo investigations characterizing the MRI signature of primary microvascular injury after head trauma and other acute brain injuries.
