New Investigator and Trainee Telementoring Seminar Series: Research – Getting Started and Drafting Your Specific Aims by KC Brennan, MD, FAHS
About Dr. Brennan
Dr. KC Brennan is Assistant Professor and Division Chief for Translational Neuroscience in the Departments of Neurology, Neurobiology, and Anatomy at the University of Utah. His research and clinical care both focus on the headache disorders. His laboratory examines the basic mechanisms of migraine and post-traumatic headache. A particular interest is cortical spreading depression, a wave of massive excitation that is also relevant to stroke and traumatic brain injury. He and his colleagues also do focused physiological research on patients with migraine and post-traumatic headache. His clinical work involves seeing patients in the Headache Clinic and in the hospital on the Neurology Consult service.
