We recently conducted an insightful interview with Professor Sam Lucas, a leading authority in concussion research. He discusses the innovative approaches and breakthroughs at Marker that are advancing concussion diagnosis.

This innovative initiative not only benefits elite cyclists but also provides valuable insights for concussion management across all sports and the recreational cycling community. Read about it here: markerhealth.com/news/marker-an…

Ahead of the 2024 Olympic Games, Marker Diagnostics and British Cycling are setting new standards in concussion management, utilising cutting-edge salivary biomarker technology to track and support athlete recovery and safe return to training.

Dr Di Pietro also shed light on the critical aspects of identifying biomarkers to guard against secondary concussion and enhance recovery from concussive events, particularly in children and athletes. You can find the full interview here: lnkd.in/eNJhk8nM

We recently sat down with Dr Valentina Di Pietro, one of the leading figures in neurotrauma research and co-founder of Marker Diagnostics to discuss her ground breaking work in understanding metabolic vulnerability of the brain following a traumatic brain injury.

We recently published some key insights from an in-depth interview with Dr Patrick O'Halloran, and the challenges with quickly identifying the risks of concussion for medical and science professionals. Read the full interview today: markerhealth.com/news/778/
