A new proposal entitled “Tissue Damage Progression in Repeated Mild Traumatic Brain Injury” has been funded by the NSF. The new project, including Brittany Coats of the Utah Head Trauma Lab and Michele Marino of the University of Rome, Tor Vergata, will characterize damage to pia-arachnoid complex tissues resulting from repeated loading and study the influence...

The lab has received notice of new funding from the Henry Jackson Foundation, through collaboration with the Biotechnology HPC Software Applications Institute, to investigate the high-rate properties of minipig brain and cerebral arteries. Findings will be used to develop of a model of blast brain injury....
