How Is The Pediatric Neurotrauma Lab Leading Innovative Research?
The Pediatric Neurotrauma Lab, co-directed by Andrew Reisner, MD and Laura Blackwell, PhD, is a multi-institutional collaboration between Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta and Emory University. Our mission is to establish a basic science research program focused on pediatric traumatic brain injury (TBI). We work to improve the health and quality of life of children living with acute neurological injuries, specifically TBI
Through our large volume of pediatric neurotrauma patients, we use translational research to improve patient care. We collaborate with local and national researchers of all disciplines to advance the understanding and treatment of TBI.
