Ann McKee lab

Ann McKee’s lab specializes in studying brain tissues from individuals who experienced brain injuries or neurological conditions, especially athletes and military personnel. Their research focuses on understanding how repeated concussions and head trauma can lead to brain damage and diseases like chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). Using detailed examination techniques, the lab uncovers how such injuries affect brain structure and function over time. This work helps improve diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of brain injuries, contributing to better health outcomes for those at risk.
