Mitochondrial dysfunction and the use of alternative energy substrates are potential therapeutic targets, but improved understanding of the causes, impact, and significance of metabolic derangements in clinical traumatic brain injury (TBI) are needed. Maintaining adequate oxygen and glucose delivery across the injured brain may accelerate the recovery of mitochondrial function and cerebral energy metabolism and remain important management targets.

 

Dr. Coles was appointed as an Academic Consultant working within the Neurosciences and Trauma Critical Care Unit (NCCU) at Cambridge University Hospitals in 2006. His PhD was in the field of neuroimaging (magnetic resonance (MR) and positron emission tomography (PET)) following traumatic brain injury (TBI). He was awarded a Clinician Scientist fellowship from the Academy of Medical Sciences/Health Foundation in 2004 and has maintained a research program funded by the Wellcome Trust, Medical Research Council (United Kingdom (UK)), European Union, and the National Institute of Academic Anaesthesia. This work examines mechanisms responsible for secondary neuronal injury, their temporal profile, and implications for eventual neurocognitive recovery post-TBI. He has published extensively within the field of neuroscience and critical care, and he is a reviewer for relevant specialist medical journals and national/international grant awarding bodies. In 2022, he was appointed Clinical Professor of Intensive Care Medicine, University of Cambridge, UK.

 This seminar series aims to create and sustain collaborations between clinicians and researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine (WCM) interested in brain injury. To join the listserv please send an email to sut2006 at med dot cornell dot edu.
