Research

Faculty and students in the School of Public Health and Health Professions are actively engaged in creating knowledge and producing innovative solutions to critical health challenges for individuals, communities and populations.

Students perform exercise and nutrition science research experiments in the lab.

Brain Function and Recovery

The Brain Function and Recovery Lab (BFR) uses neuromotor, neurocognitive, and neurophysiological measures to better understand sport-related, military-related, and intimate-partner violence-related acquired brain injury. The lab also focuses on identifying cutting-edge interventions to facilitate recovery in brain injury populations. It is equipped with a state-of-the-art posturography machine and neuromodulation devices with unrestricted access to body-weight supported treadmill machine and motion-capture systems. This lab is also engaged in community-based research to identify approaches to increase knowledge of and access to health care in vulnerable populations of brain injury.
