Optical Neuroimaging Laboratory

The Optical Neuroimaging lab develops novel optical neuroimaging techniques to understand pediatric neurodevelopment and its disruption by disease. They use optical intrinsic signal imaging, diffuse optical tomography, and resting-state methods, allowing bench-to-bedside neuroimaging.

Brian R. White, MD, PhD

Dr. White develops novel optical functional neuroimaging systems and algorithms to better understand pediatric neuronal injury. His research includes optical intrinsic signal imaging, diffuse optical tomography, and resting-state functional connectivity.

Wolfson Family Laboratory for Clinical and Biomedical Optics

The Wolfson Family Laboratory for Clinical and Biomedical Optics focuses on the development and use of novel non-invasive optical devices to probe cerebrovascular hemodynamics and physiology in vivo. These devices are used in clinical and pre-clinical studies to discover the timing and causes of brain injury during care.

PA Consortium on TBI

Transforming the diagnosis, management, and treatment of traumatic brain injury (TBI) with new tools for TBI assessment that will change the paradigm of medical care at the individual, community, and population levels.

Concussion Assessment Research Education Consortium Longitudinal Study

Addressing public concerns and existing gaps in the basic and clinical science related to the natural history, evaluation and management, and prevention of sports-related concussion.

Cohen Laboratory

The Cohen Lab investigates the cellular and molecular mechanisms that underlie cognitive impairments associated with traumatic brain injury. The lab specifically focuses on alterations in neuronal excitability in the brain's limbic system.
