Daniel Todd Laskowitz is a Professor of Neurology at Duke University and serves as the Assistant Dean for Scholarly Education and Director of the Duke Clinical Research Institute. His research focuses on the central nervous system response to acute injury, specifically examining microglial activation and the endogenous inflammatory response that exacerbates secondary injury following acute brain insults. His laboratory investigates cellular responses to injury to develop novel therapeutic interventions for stroke, intracranial hemorrhage, and closed head injuries, utilizing both in vitro and animal model approaches. He has characterized various murine models of traumatic brain injury and explores neuroprotective strategies related to apolipoprotein E in the context of brain injury. Laskowitz is actively involved in translational research and currently leads clinical research protocols related to stroke and acute brain injury, primarily utilizing resources from the Emergency Room Neurocritical Care Unit.
