Research focus

My current research is focused on assessing circuit disruption resulting from traumatic brain injury (TBI) that underlies the development of post-TBI morbidities. Coupling in vivo model of circuit disruption with the state-of-the-art evaluation of chemical communication, I explore the mechanisms underlying the acute and chronic post-traumatic symptoms. Secondly, have a primary interest in oxidative and inflammatory aspects of neurodegeneration with a focus on Parkinson’s disease in the context of neurotoxic exposures.
