My doctoral research\u00a0is focused on the development of an <em>in vitro<\/em> representative model for the study of cellular and molecular events involved in traumatic brain injuries and to establish a quantitative relationship between the magnitude of injury and underlying mechanisms in post-mortem tissues.
