This research develops a virtual human model and predictive algorithm to detect blast-induced traumatic brain injuries in real time. Using simulations and body-mounted sensors, the system estimates injury risk on the battlefield, helping medics and commanders make rapid decisions to protect soldiers and improve mission safety.

This talk presents a new noninvasive MRI method to visualize the brain’s immune response. By imaging inflammation without injections or contrast agents, the research offers new insights into Alzheimer’s disease, ALS, and traumatic brain injury, helping researchers better understand how brain inflammation contributes to neurological disorders.
