Short Biography
Dr. Chen is an assistant clinical professor of neurology and neurointensivist with a particular interest in traumatic brain injury (TBI) and the multifaceted personal challenges these patients and their families face. He hopes to develop a comprehensive inpatient-outpatient service which fills current gaps in TBI care in a personalized yet methodical manner. He hopes to better understand the long term chronic sequelae, including the effect of TBI on degenerative diseases , medical comorbidities and brain health. He also has an interest in how we may best apply novel multimodal technology such as cerebral microdialysis and EEG in the neuro-intensive care unit in a practical and efficient manner.
