DURIP Elevating Traumatic Brain Injury Research with Cutting-Edge Microscopy and Clinically Relevant Monitoring
Abstract
We propose an equipment system that will advance the forefront of translational neurological research. Our interdisciplinary team has developed an expansive research portfolio with substantial Department of Defense (DoD) support that is aligned with the mission of the Office of Naval Research. Our current study, funded by the DoD, focus on mechanistic and translational development of a novel neuroprotective device for traumatic brain injury. This proposal details an equipment system aimed to elevate the analysis of outcomes our study. We request support to advance our facilities with (A) top-of-the-line microscope imaging solutions, which are criticalfor accurate and representative quantitative analysis in translational neuroscience research, and (B) an intracranial monitoring instrument, the current medical benchmark for ICU patient monitoring, which will enhance the clinical relevance of our study. The equipment requested in this proposal will directly benefit our current ongoing DoD study and accelerate translation of our technology to treat patients. Furthermore, as educators, we will educate the next generation of scientists and clinicians in TBI research using cutting-edge instruments to conduct innovative and rigorous research.
