Dr Michael Takagi is a Clinical Neuropsychologist and Senior Lecturer in the School of Psychological Sciences at Monash University, where he is involved in teaching, research, and clinical training within the field of Clinical Neuropsychology. 

He co-leads the Turner Neurodevelopmental Clinic at the Turner Clinics - a training and research clinic at Monash University which provides comprehensive and cross-disciplinary psychological assessment services to the community as well as undertaking clinical research and training postgraduate psychology students (clinical psychology and clinical neuropsychology). He is also a Senior Clinical Neuropsychologist within the Children's Court Clinic, where he provides assessment services to the criminal and family divisions of the Children's Court of Victoria. 

Since 2014, Michael's research has focused on paediatric concussion and understanding factors that may predict who is at a higher risk of experiencing delayed recovery and persistent symptoms post-injury. He is also involved in several studies investigating clinical interventions for children who are experiencing persistent symptoms beyond 4 weeks post-injury.
