Biomechanics: Characterizing the dynamic changes in microglia after blast injuries

Education

Third year undergraduate Biology student in the Albert Dorman Honors College and College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at NJIT

7-Year Accelerated BS/MD Program with NJMS

About Me
I joined the Center for Injury Biomechanics, Materials, and Medicine in the spring of 2018, with an Honors Summer Research Institute award to work on my project. Characterizing the dynamic changes in microglia will allow for the confirmation of whether or not microglial cells are activated in the brain after traumatic brain injury, an important step in confirming the role of microglia in neuroinflammation.
