Research Focus
Dr. Jasmeet Pannu Hayes runs a research lab at Ohio State University focused on understanding how traumatic brain injuries, particularly concussions, can increase the risk of developing Alzheimer's Disease and related dementias. The lab investigates the connection between genetic and epigenetic factors and brain changes that occur after a TBI, with the aim of identifying pathways that could lead to improved detection and intervention strategies for Alzheimer's disease.
