Dr. Kokiko-Cochran studies chronic outcome following traumatic brain injury (TBI) with a focus on neuroinflammation. Inflammation following brain injury is a dynamic response, which is influenced by age, sex, injury location and severity. Ongoing projects in the Kokiko-Cochran lab examine if and how other life events synergize with brain injury to set the stage for neurodegenerative pathology.  

Dr. Kokiko-Cochran has been a member of NNS and Team since 2007 and served as a Councilor 2019-2022.
