The Pediatric Neurotrauma Lab, co-directed by Pediatric Neurosurgeon, Andrew Reisner, MD, and Board Certified Neuropsychologist, 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.
The Pediatric Neurotrauma Lab’s mission is to facilitate research that can improve the treatment and outcomes of traumatic brain injuries in children.
Areas of Study include:
- Concussions
- Traumatic Brain Injury
- Biomarkers from acquired Brain Injury
