Brain Injury

OLCIAS is pleased to announce at it's annual International Live Conference on Brain Injury which will be taking place on September 14, 2024.

This conference brings together researchers and clinicians from industry, academia, the military, and government to present ground-breaking research in a variety of areas related to Brain Injury.

The death or degeneration of brain cells is referred to as neurotrauma, brain damage, or brain injury (BI). There are many different internal and external variables that can cause brain damage. In general, the term "brain injury" refers to severe, uniform trauma-related harm. 

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) after physical trauma or head injury from an external source is a common category with the highest number of injuries, and acquired brain injury (ABI) is used appropriately to distinguish brain injuries that occur after birth from injury, from a genetic disorder (GBI), or from a congenital disorder (CBI).  While focal and diffuse brain injuries indicate the severity and localisation, primary and secondary brain injuries highlight the mechanisms involved.

This event provides a special opportunity for various stakeholders to present original research and analysis aimed at providing a full picture of the progress towards better diagnosis, treatment, and long-term care for Brain Injury survivors. At this annual event, physicians, nurses, neurosurgeons, scientists, and drug/diagnostic developers from all over the world network and learn from one another. Focus areas include:
 

• Traumatic Brain Injury

• Concussion

• Coma

• Brain Dead

• Critical Care

• Current Clinical Management of Brain Injury

• Outcomes Research

• Recovery, Regeneration and Plasticity

• Preclinical/Clinical Development Models/Design

• Emerging Tools for Diagnosis/Assessment of TBIs

• Neuroimaging Research and Practice

• BI Therapeutic Preclinical/Clinical Candidates

• Advances and Opportunities for TBI Biomarkers
