Research Focus
Dr. Paul E. Schulz's lab focuses on understanding how COVID-19 affects the brain, specifically investigating the long-term cognitive dysfunction that some patients experience after their recovery. They explore factors such as patient demographics and underlying inflammation that might influence cognitive decline. The lab collects data from a diverse group of individuals who were hospitalized with COVID-19, aiming to develop better treatments for those suffering from neurocognitive issues post-infection.
