Jessica Gill is a national leader in research on the biological mechanisms of traumatic brain injuries (TBI). She has spent decades investigating differential responses in military personnel, athletes, and other patients that have experienced TBIs and the mechanisms underlying these divergent responses. Specifically, Dr. Gill looks for ways to use biomarkers to identify which patients are at high risk for poor recovery and long-term effects including post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, and post-concussive syndrome, and to develop treatments. As Bloomberg Distinguished Professor of Trauma Recovery Biomarkers, she will hold primary appointments in the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing and the School of Medicine, Department of Neurology.
