“Meet the Scientists” TBI day at Imperial – 23rd September

Professor David Sharp’s research group at Imperial College is again hosting a half-day event at their Hammersmith Campus for survivors of traumatic brain injury and their carers to learn more about the research going on in traumatic brain injury.

The event, this year – on 23rd September – will feature tours of their laboratories – where researchers will demonstrate the techniques they use and the sorts of problems they are trying to solve. There will be a demonstration of how they obtain MRI scans, and participants will be able to learn about the drug studies currently ongoing, be shown how EEG and non-invasive brain stimulation techniques are used, and gain an insight into the military brain injury research. These tours will be followed by a talk by Professor Sharp about general aspects of research in brain injury.

There will also be an opportunity to give feedback, relate experiences of taking part in brain injury research, and also to sign up to take part in current and future research studies.

See the event flyer or visit their web page for more information.

There are a relatively limited number of places available for this event so please book quickly.
