A/Prof Corrigan is a research active member of the Discipline of Anatomy and Pathology, School of Biomedicine at the University of Adelaide. After completion of her PhD in Dec 2011 investigating neuroprotective agents for traumatic brain injury she undertook local (UofA) postdoctoral training gaining research expertise in models of psychiatric disorders. She currently leads the Head Injury Group within the School of Biomedicine investigating both the short and long-term effects of traumatic brain injury, the role of exogenous factors such as sex and age and how to intervene to prevent long-term consequences.

Research

I lead the Head Injury Group, which liaises closely with the Translational Neuropathology lab and CANDL . My research is primarily focused on the mechanisms whereby concussion or mild traumatic brain injury can lead to the development of neurodegeneration, with particular interest in the role of neuroinflammation.  This research also aims to identify novel pharmacological agents to prevent the long-term consequences of concussion. 

Current projects:

1) Mapping the spread of toxic tau following traumatic brain injury to develop new biomarkers to identify those at risk of later developing dementia.

2) Understanding the temporal profile of axonal injury following traumatic brain injury in order to develop new treatments

3) Investigating whether the neuroinflammatory response influenced by age at which a traumatic brain injury occurs? Can we target this process to optimise treatment strategy dependent on age at injury. 

4) Developing novel pre-clinical models of traumatic brain injury that more closely replicate the clinical situation
