Inventor Spotlight – Denis E. Bragin, PhD, FAHA

Dr. Bragin’s research areas include:

• Circulation and metabolism of the brain after traumatic brain injury, stroke, and other cerebrovascular and
  metabolic diseases.
• The role of cerebral microvascular shunting in the development of hyperemia, brain edema, tissue ischemia
  and blood-brain barrier degradation during intracranial hypertension after severe cerebral insults.
• The potential of hemodynamics modulation with drag-reducing molecules for treating acute and
  chronic cerebral microvascular disorders and ischemia, including stroke, traumatic injury, diabetic
  encephalopathy and other neurodegenerative diseases.
• Non-invasive transcranial direct current, pulsed electromagnetic field and low-level light brain modulation
  for recovery after acute brain injuries
