He has served on several traumatic brain injury-related task forces and panels for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, and the Institute of Medicine. In 2008, he worked with the Defense and Veterans Brain Injury Center to develop mild traumatic brain injury (concussion) management guidelines for returning troops.ResearchThe goals of the Bazarian TBI lab are to develop neuroimaging and blood-based biomarkers of axonal injury after concussion and repetitive head hits, and to understand the pathophysiologic mechanisms of recovery. A translational research platform is used to accrue injured subjects through the Emergency Department at the University of Rochester Medical Center as well as contact athletes at the University of Rochester and the Rochester Institute of Technology. Since 2009, over 700 collegiate athletes and over 100 non-athletes have been studied using a variety of biomarkers including diffusion tensor imaging, functional MRI, serum brain proteins (such as S100B, GFAP, UCH-L1 and tau), peripheral changes in mRNA expression, the epigenome and the metabolome; computerized cognitive performance, computerized platform posturography, computerized eye-tracking, quantitative EEG. We have integrated objective measures of head impact exposure using sensor technology to understand the relationship between impact biomechanics and brain injury. The strategic use of this comprehensive array of methodologies has shed light on the effects of single and repetitive head hits on brain structure and function, setting the stage for targeted interventions to prevent and mitigate TBI-related disability.CredentialsSpecialtiesInternal Medicine - American Board of Internal MedicineEducation1987MD | Univ. of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry2002MPH | University of Rochester School of Medicine & DentistryPost-doctoral Training & Residency09/01/1987 - 06/01/1990Residency in Internal Medicine at University of Rochester Medical CenterAwards2018Deborah Warden LectureshipSponsor: Department of Defense2006Faculty Mentoring AwardSponsor: University of Rochester2003Ernst Sayward Award for Excellence in Community and Preventive Medicine2000Kluge Trauma and Emergency Medical Service AwardSponsor: Rochester Academy of Medicine1997Clinical Teaching AwardSponsor: Emergency Department ResidencyLocation: University of RochesterVIEW ALL expand_morePatentsPatent Title: System and Method to Assess Risk of Changes to Brain White Matter Based on Head Impact Dose Equivalent Number Patent #: 10,646,154 Issue Date: May 12, 2020 Country: United States Invented By: Jeffrey J Bazarian, Kian Merchant-BornaPublicationsJournal Articles8/30/2021Huibregtse ME, Bazarian JJ, Shultz SR, Kawata K.
