Speaker: A/Prof Ursula Rohlwink
Ursula Rohlwink is an Associate Professor and Wellcome Trust International Intermediate Fellow in the African Brain Child Unit in the Division of Neurosurgery and the Neuroscience Institute at the University of Cape Town.
Her research interests focus on unravelling the mechanisms underlying brain injury due to trauma and infection in children, both major burdens of disease in Africa and globally, by combining high level patient data (e.g. multimodality brain monitoring), innovative research techniques (e.g. -omics analysis), and social engagement.
She is dedicated to building translational neuroscience capacity in South Africa and continentally.
