My current NIH funded basic science research is examining the role of exogenous progesterone and pregnenolone in the post injury/recovery phase of TBI. However, I am particularly interested in the clinical applications of the basic science research. I was the Project Leader for the Phase II clinical trial, ProTECT™ (Progesterone for TBI, experimental clinical treatment) and am now the Principal Investigator for the planning grant proposal that is preparing for a Phase III clinical trial. I am also the Principal Investigator of the Emory Hub for the Neurological Emergencies Treatment Trials Network. I am also interested in the development of novel technologies for medical applications, particularly mild TBI, and work collaboratively with the Georgia Institute of Technology Department of Biomedical Engineering. I am the co-inventor of the DETECT™ system, (Display Enhanced Testing for Concussions and mTBI). The DETECT™ system is a novel, portable, self-contained device developed for the sideline assessment of concussion and other forms of cognitive impairment, such as MCI/early Alzheimer’s disease.
