Higher Degree by Research Candidate
Adelaide Medical School
Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences
Madeleine Bessen is a final year PhD candidate within the Adelaide Spinal Research Group (ASRG) & Centre for Orthopaedics and Trauma Research (COTR). Her research primarily focuses on the dynamics (flow, pulsations, pressure) of the cerebrospinal fluid system. This is with the aim to improve our understanding of its role in traumatic spinal cord injury and contribute to improving treatment options and outcomes for patients.
