Boston University CTE Center

Thank you to Boston University and Boston University Experts for the new series “CTE: How BU Is Changing the Game.” We are grateful for the opportunity to share a more in-depth look at our research and the work that our team does everyday. And most of all, we are grateful to highlight the critical role of our brain donor families who generously and bravely contribute to this work and continue to share their stories. It is an honor to work with these families and our work is not possible without each and every one of them. We look forward to sharing more as we work toward new milestones and research achievements. Stay tuned to learn more and you can check out the five-part series now at: https://lnkd.in/euqyqNnq

Today, Jenna Groh from my lab successfully defended her PhD dissertation titled "The Effects of Repetitive Head Impacts in Former Contact Sport Athletes: An Examination of Long-Term Health Outcomes and a Novel Pattern of White Matter Hyperintensities." I could not be more proud of her on this accomplishment. This is what's all about - training the next generation of scientists. Jenna is well on her way to becoming a leader in the field!
