Fundamental and Translational

Chairs:
Smith, Zanier, Loane and Wellington

The newly established InTBIR Fundamental and Translational Working Group recognizes the importance of cellular and animal model systems to undertake studies difficult or impossible to conduct solely through clinical research. The ability to reliably generate cells or brain tissues injured under controlled experimental conditions allows mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets to be identified. This Working Group aims to strengthen connections among clinical, fundamental and translational scientists to improve the relevance of model systems and increase our understanding of TBI pathophysiology.
