My primary research goal is to characterize a new model of blast-induced neurotrauma. In the past, the majority of attention to blast injury was paid to gas-filled organ injuries (lungs, intestines, middle ear cavity). Recently, with the advancement of military body armor, focus has shifted to fluid-filled organs and cavities with respect to the kinds of injuries seen when someone is subjected to a sub-lethal amount of blast wave energy. My work is to characterize a newer model of blast injury that encompasses what many believe may be a more realistic model of blast pressure waves and how it affects the brain.
