Research Focus
His clinical practice focuses on the management of cranial neurotrauma, with his newly developing research program in Winnipeg focused on the application of multi-modal invasive/non-invasive cranial physiologic monitoring for the continuous assessment of cerebral autoregulation, compensatory reserve, autonomics and signal entropy. This program will integrate complex high-frequency signal processing, with neuroimaging, serum/CSF/microdialysis protein and genetic biomarkers. The goal is to uncover the molecular mechanisms involved in impaired cerebrovascular reactivity in TBI, leading to the development of potential therapeutic targets directed at prevention and treatment of vascular dysfunction in TBI. This program maintains strong ongoing collaborative ties with many international centers including: University of Cambridge, Karolinska Institute, University of Helsinki and Maastricht University. His lab is funded through a variety of local, national and international sources, including: the Manitoba Public Insurance (MPI) Neuroscience Research Endowment/Operating Fund, CIHR, CFI, Swedish Brain Fund (SBF) and the NIH.
