Biography
Audrey D Lafrenaye is a Research Associate Faculty Member in the Department of Anatomy and Neurobiology at Virginia Commonwealth University. She has received her PhD in Anatomy. Following her graduate work she transitioned into the Trauma field. Her research focuses on evaluating the diffuse pathologies following traumatic brain injury. In the conduct of her studies she utilizes both rodent and micro pig models of diffuse traumatic brain injury and has been particularly interested in the effects of elevated intracranial pressure without hypoperfusion on subacute pathology and morbidity following TBI. For the past few years she has explored the pathological progression of diffuse axonal injury and acute neuro-inflammation following mild diffuse traumatic brain injury in the pig.
