Congratulations to Vidisha Goyal for being awarded the American Heart Association (AHA) Predoctoral Fellowship for her proposal entitled “Assessment of Cerebral Edema in Subarachnoid Hemorrhage patients using Broadband Absorption Spectroscopy”! After brain injury, the water content in the brain can increase, leading to devastating consequences as the brain compresses within the confines of the skull. This 2yr fellowship will help fund foundational experiments that develop a new non-invasive optical monitor of brain water content that can be used at the bedside to one day help guide patient care.
