Hutchinson Secures TRIF Funding for Brain Injury Treatments

Sunday, March 27, 2022
Elizabeth Hutchinson

BME assistant professor Elizabeth Hutchinson recently earned funding from the state's Technology and Research Initiative Fund for her work researching a low-intensity version of the traditional ultrasound (transcranial ultrasound, or tUS) to provide treatment for people who have experienced a traumatic brain injury. 

“For the past few months, I’d been talking with other BIO5 members Drs. Kaveh Laksari, Russ Witte and Paulo Pires about running a set of experiments to try transcranial ultrasound as a protective or regenerative therapy after TBI,” Hutchinson said in a interview with the BIO5 Institute. “We were quite excited to receive the award because it allows us the opportunity to begin a line of research to develop tUS into a novel, non-pharmacologic therapy to improve brain recovery and clinical outcomes after TBI.”
