Neurocritical Care Research
Research activities of the Division of Critical Care and Hospitalist Neurology seek to support their clinical mission and expand understanding of all aspects of acute neurocritical care and life-threatening neurological disease.
The Division of Critical Care and Hospitalist Neurology has several active research programs and laboratories investigating a diverse portfolio of neurological injuries including the Program for Hospital and Intensive Care Informatics (PHICI) led by Dr Soojin Park, and the Program for neuroinfectious disease outbreak prevention, diagnosis, and surveillance led by Dr Kiran Thakur, and research laboratories focusing on Translational Neurocritical Care led by Dr David Roh, Resuscitation Science led by Dr Sachin Agarwal, and the Disorders of Consciousness Laboratory (DoC-Lab) led by Dr Jan Claassen.
