Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Robert Medcalf (Principal investigator) ,  A/Pr Huyen Tran ,  Prof Ben Boyd ,  Prof Magdalena Plebanski ,  Prof Russell Gruen

Brief description This project aims to determine how a well known anti-fibrinolytic drug can improve the immune response and reduced blood brain barrier disruption following traumatic brain injury. We will also be testing additional drugs we have developed as well as a novel drug delivery system that better targets drugs to the damaged brain.
