University Roundtable - Defining Neuromechanics: Concussions and Traumatic Brain Injury  (back)
 
Description:
Christian Franck

Current prediction, prevention and diagnosis strategies for mild traumatic brain injuries, including concussions, are still largely in their infancy due to a lack of detailed understanding and resolution of how physical forces give rise to tissue injury at a cellular level. In this talk, Associate Professor Christian Franck from the Department of Mechanical Engineering will present some recent work on our current understanding of the origin of concussions and traumatic brain injuries and how cells in the brain interpret and react to the physical forces of trauma. Dr. Franck also hopes to motivate and propose some solutions on how we might improve our prevention and diagnosis of these injuries by working together across disciplines.
