Personalized Medicine in Veterans with Traumatic Brain Injuries

Abstract

The majority of identified casualties among Veterans deployed to the Persian Gulf region are the result of blastproducing weaponry leading to Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). Our proposed studies will identify molecular fingerprints from clinically assessable blood cells components as independent biological indexes that will promote early and correct TBI diagnosis. During the past year, we worked extensively with the Department of Defense Human Research Protection Office (DOD HRPO) to modify our protocols to fit DOD HRPO criteria. Our revised protocols have recently been approved by the DOD HRPO. We will not initiate any of our proposed studies until we receive local IRB approval for our revised protocols and that the DOD HRPO has received our local IRB approval documents and notify us that we can commence with the proposed studies.
