Explore Potential Biomarkers for Traumatic Brain Injury

For as common as concussions are in the world today, we still don't have a strong methodology to diagnose them when they occur. Here, we can explore some potential biomarkers that may aid future healthcare providers to determine when patients suffer a mild, moderate, or severe brain injury. Students will learn about the science behind neurotrauma, creatively approach the challenges of diagnosis, and learn how to write a scientific research paper on their findings.

Literature Review on Advancements in Diabetes Management

The field of diabetes is rapidly changing; with new technology emerging every year, we are closer to a cure than ever before. Students will dive into scientific literature to understand what challenges face researchers in their attempts to find a cure and how diabetes management solutions have evolved over the last 25 years.

Tapping Unknown Frontiers of Neuromodulation

The potential of neuromodulation is immense; almost beyond our imagination. In this project, students will research the fundamental philosophies of neuromodulation and creatively consider new applications to the technology. Students will then propose a prospective clinical trial to examine the safety and efficacy of this therapy, learning the basics of protocol design, inclusion/exclusion criteria, and so much more surrounding the world of clinical trials.
