DU Concussion Research
Who We Are
The University of Denver and the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical campus are collaborating to study the effects of concussions in athletes. The overall purpose of this multi-disciplinary program is to allows us to discover and develop preventative treatment paradigms that may reduce the impact of multiple concussions throughout life.
What We Do
Concussion or mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is one of several leading causes of disability in young adults and has been linked with neurobehavioral deficits including cognitive impairment and dementia later in life. The University of Denver has an interdisciplinary team from biological sciences, professional psychology, mechanical engineering, and neuroscience to determine the risk that concussion has on long-term brain health.
