Dr. Hailong Song is a researcher currently affiliated with the Department of Pathology and Anatomical Sciences at the University of Missouri. His research interests focus on understanding the pathophysiological mechanisms of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and potential links between TBI and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's Disease. Dr. Song utilizes translational approaches involving in vitro and in vivo models to investigate axonal damage in TBI and its relationship to protein misfolding. He has contributed significantly to the field through his studies on axonal sodium channel loss, disruption of the node of Ranvier, and sex differences in axonal pathologies post-concussion.
