Biography
Brendan is an early career researcher within the Monash trauma group and iBRAIN Research Laboratory in the Department of Neuroscience at Monash University. Brendan’s PhD focused on electrophysiological changes in women following sports-related concussion. Since completing his Ph.D in psychology in 2020, Brendan has been employed as a postdoctoral researcher at Monash University and The Alfred Hospital. Brendan’s primary research focus is the development of blood and imaging biomarkers or sports-related concussion and “mild” Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). Brendan has a keen interest in the exploration of the gender difference following “mild” TBI.
