Dr. Nikolaos Ziogas Wins First Place; Post-Doctoral Fellow Poster Awards at National Capital Area TBI Research Symposium 2016

Nikolaos Ziogas M.D., LIBRA – post doctoral fellow at the Koliatsos Laboratory, was the winner of the “Post-Doctoral Fellow Poster Awards” at the annual National Capital Area Traumatic Brain Injury Symposium held at National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, DC for his work on the “Characterization of corticospinal tract pathology in mice exposed to impact acceleration injury”. For this work a novel neuroscience technique that makes the brain transparent, CLARITY, has been used to 3D reconstruct the corticospinal tract after traumatic brain injury, the specialized axonal tract responsible for fine movements.
