Current Lab Members

Snook is a MS student in the Department of Animal and Dairy Science studying the effects of neural stem cells and exercise on recovery from traumatic brain injury.

Taylor is a PhD student in the Regenerative Bioscience Program focusing on the microbiome-gut-brain axis and the use of neural stem cell extracellular vesicles (NSC EV) as a treatment for traumatic brain injury (TBI).

Emma is a master’s student in the Interdisciplinary Toxicology Program studying the relationship between traumatic brain injury (TBI) severity and pathology and motor responses.

Maria is a PhD student in the Regenerative Bioscience Program studying the effects of mesenchymal stem cell extracellular vesicles (MSC EVs) on traumatic brain injury recovery.

Charlie is a PhD student in the Neuroscience Program studying the effects of Non-Ionizing Electromagnetic Radiation Emissions (NIEMRE) on the human neural network.

Studying cognitive, behavioral, and motor function within the pig model evaluating recovery in the traumatic brain injury model and the effects of transplanted neural stem cells.

Sydney is a research professional in the West Lab. Her work in the West Lab centers around organizing, managing, and running an NIH-funded porcine traumatic brain injury study evaluating the functional recovery and longitudinal effects of transplanted neural stem cells in the injured brain.

Moira is a Ph.D. student in the Regenerative Bioscience Program studying neuroregenerative recovery mechanisms and sex differences in traumatic brain injury (TBI).
