Robert Dickson awarded new grant to study the gut microbiome's role in traumatic brain injury

Robert Dickson and his collaborators Hakam Tiba and Kathleen Stringer have been awarded a grant via the 2022 Massey TBI Grand Challenge. They will use a swine model of traumatic brain injury and experimental microbiome modulation to determine if and how gut bacteria can contribute to and protect from severe traumatic brain injury.
