About the Brain Research Lab
The Brain Research Lab (BRL) is a basic science research group in Emergency Medicine, led by interim director Dr. Iqbal Sayeed and made up of four other Emory Emergency Medicine faculty, and three staff members/post-doctoral trainees.
Core BRL research focuses on the effects of sex hormones (progesterone and its metabolites) on mitigating inflammatory responses following TBI, stroke, and glioblastoma metastasis.
The BRL has collaborations across multiple departments at Emory.
Resources
Our laboratory leases excellent space in the Winship Cancer Institute at Emory University. This includes state-of-the-art facilities for surgical manipulations, behavioral testing, and for most of the immunocytochemical and molecular biological assays, we use in our research.
Our research is typically supported through a combination of philanthropic gifts, donations, and Federal funding.
Fellowships
No intramural fellowships are currently available. Post-doctoral investigators typically receive support through PI-initiated research grants or other extramural programs.
