ICON-TBI
INTERNATIONAL COLLABORATION ON NEUROINFLAMMATION IN TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY
Project Description:
This study examines the contribution of neuroinflammation to outcomes in TBI. The breadth of the study includes human and animal studies of all severities and timelines and includes a component of novel treatment. Our contribution (Dr. Karen Barlow and Dr. Michael Esser) is in terms of the clinical and basic science neurobiology of pediatric TBI using patient outcomes, neuroimaging studies, biobank analysis of human and animal samples and animal modeling of injury and neuroinflammation processes.
