Research summary

Kate Karelina studies how traumatic brain injury affects the brain and body over time, focusing on blood vessel and heart function, stroke risk, and metabolic changes in the brain after injury. Her work often examines how these effects differ by sex and explores mechanisms such as reduced blood flow to the brain, pericyte (blood vessel-supporting cell) dysfunction, and mitochondrial (cellular energy) stress. This research is relevant to students interested in neuroscience, cardiovascular-brain interactions, and recovery processes after brain injury or stroke.
