 I'm Dr. Andrew Fenning from Seeker University and I'm honoured and grateful to be a 2023 awardee of a Brain Foundation grant. I'd like to thank the Brain Foundation and their generous donor network for supporting our research. This funding will enable our team, including early career researchers, to examine brainwide genetic changes following concussion trauma in a preclinical model identifying key injury pathways which we can then treat with novel pharmaceutical compounds to hopefully chart a course towards the development of further treatments for this debilitating condition. If these treatments prove successful, we will have a greater understanding of the how, where and why of concussion injury and avenues to prevent further damage.
