Rehabilomics Research: Towards a Precision Medicine Approach to Optimizing Function after Acquired Brain Injury
Dr. Wagner's research program uses biomarkers as tools for developing and optimizing personalized treatments and outcomes for individuals with disability, particularly with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and with cardiac arrest. Dr. Wagner's research focus includes the TBI Rehabilomics Research Model, identifying biomarkers relevant for assessing pathology and prognosis as well as for assessing clinical risk and use in clinical decision making.

Combat-related Concussion: Understanding trajectories of long-term clinical and neuroimaging outcome
Dr. Mac Donald's research is focused on advanced MRI methods and the application of these imaging methods to traumatic brain injury (TBI) and neurodegenerative disease. Her current research includes advanced neuroimaging evaluation of mild traumatic brain injury in the US military, severe brain injury in adult civilians, and the distribution of brain injury in children with particular emphasis on comorbid mental health conditions following concussion.

This year's conference will be entirely virtual, and will use two web conferencing tools. All conference activities except the poster session will use Zoom webinars and meetings.
Aside from our invited speakers, we will select a number of presenters from the abstract pool to give short Spotlights (n=3, 8 minutes each) and Data Blitz talks (n=8, 3 minutes each).
Research pitches will feature invited CBI affiliates and colleagues from partner institutions to present ideas for new lines of interdisciplinary research and collaborative projects.
The poster session will use Gather, an interactive platform that combines video conferencing, file sharing for PDF posters and discussion socials, and 8-bit gaming. We hope to make this a fun and immersive experience. Through this set up, posters will be live judged, and discussion sessions can be held ad-hoc in a variety of locations.
Links will be uploaded and distributed closer to the conference.
