Neurocritical Care
Albertson Lab
Asher J. Albertson, MD, PhD
Our lab is focused on better understanding the molecular, neuronal and network drivers of injury and recovery after stroke. Our long-term goal is to leverage this understanding into therapeutic targets with the potential to improve outcomes after acute brain injury.
Dhar Lab
Rajat Dhar, MD, FRCPC
The Dhar lab seeks to leverage data and image-driven approaches to understand the heterogeneity of human responses to severe brain injuries.
Diringer Lab
Michael N. Diringer, MD
All NNICU physicians have specialized research interests directed at improving the care we provide our patients. A unique aspect of this facility is that it is the only Neuro-ICU in the country with a positron emission tomography (PET) scanner located on site.
Kummer Lab
Terrance T. Kummer, MD, PhD
Research at the Kummer lab and in our collaborative group is focused on the mechanisms of cellular damage in traumatic brain injury (TBI) and in Alzheimer’s disease, with a particular focus on synaptic and other forms of gray matter injury. TBI is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the U.S. and worldwide and a major risk factor for the development of Alzheimer’s disease.
