There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

VIRTUAL ATTENDEE LINK
Michelle LaPlaca's Translational Neurotrauma Laboratory studies traumatic brain injury (TBI) using preclinical model systems and novel clinical assessments. The goals are to determine thresholds for plasma membrane damage, probe for lipid biomarkers, determine biomarker efflux pathways from the brain to the blood, and introduce heterogeneity to study design. Clinical research includes development of multimodal concussion assessment tools and investigation of novel biomarkers.
