From page 63...
... The goals of the Bazarian traumatic brain injury (TBI) lab are to develop neuro­imaging and blood-based biomarkers of axonal injury after concussion and repetitive head hits and to understand the patho­physiologic mechanisms of recovery.
From page 64...
... Dr. Gill has spent decades investigating differential responses in military personnel, athletes, and other patients that have experienced traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
From page 65...
... His program focuses on aligning the development of new products toward market sustainability and adopting new products into routine clinical care to generate immediate impact. Products under development in the burn program specifically address the challenges in current routine burn- and blast-injury care and increase in overall longterm national preparedness for mitigating consequences from mass casualty incidents with large cases of burn and blast injuries.

... network, that are investigating the use of biofluid-based biomarkers for subject selection in clinical trials and monitoring individual patient response to promising neuroprotective agents. In addition, he is a national principal investigator of an National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke–funded phase 2 adaptive design multicenter clinical trial that is investigating the optimal treatment parameters of hyperbaric oxygen for treating severe TBI.
From page 67...
... In addition to a robust clinical practice at ZSFG and the Greater Bay Area's level 1 trauma center, he coordinates and leads national and international clinical research efforts in the study of the short- and long-term effects of traumatic brain injury (TBI)
From page 68...
... She is the c­ ofounding director of the Minds Matter Concussion Program, a CHOP Frontier Pro gram that provides comprehensive cutting edge multidisciplinary clinical care and rehabilitation for concussion, community advocacy, and outreach, while advancing the field of concussion and mild traumatic brain injury in children, youth, and young adults through translational clinical research. Her particular research emphasis focuses on furthering our understanding of visual deficits following concussion, their role in those with persistent postconcussive symptoms, and as a target for active intervention and treat ment, as well as developing objective physiological measures as quantitative biomarkers of injury and recovery.

... to advance the understanding and treatment of traumatic brain injury and a principal investigator of ongoing clinical studies in neurotrauma in Pittsburgh. He is a member of the American Association of Neurological Surgeons, the Congress of Neurological Surgeons, and the National and International Neurotrauma Societies.
From page 70...
... He is board certified in general surgery with an added qualification in surgical critical care. He is the Navy State Chair for the American College of Surgeons Committee on Trauma, Chair of the Navy Trauma Clinical Community, and represents the Navy on the Defense Committee on Surgical Combat Casualty Care.
From page 71...
... He also serves as a subject matter expert on several Department of Defense committees, including the Committee on Surgical Combat Casualty Care (since 2016) ; the Tactical Combat Casualty Care Subject Matter Expert Panel (since 2018)
From page 72...
... From there, she joined the extramural division of NINDS as a health program specialist supporting the neurotrauma portfolios before becoming a program officer in the Division of Translational Research. While at NINDS she has been involved in a variety of efforts for traumatic brain injury including a preclinical biomarker consortium and programmatic oversight of the Federal Interagency Traumatic Brain Injury Research (FITBIR)
