The Kimberly Lab is committed to reducing the devastating effects of acute brain injury by focusing on translational studies that bridge basic science and clinical research. We believe that therapeutic discovery is not a linear path from fundamental mechanism to new drug, but instead a cycle that requires bi-directional and multidisciplinary integration of basic and patient-oriented research. A presence at each stage of discovery—both directly and through strategic collaboration—is central to our mission to advancing new treatments. Consequently, our laboratory is highly multidisciplinary and collaborative, and our work could not be accomplished without our collaborative partners.
