The NCRC supports studies for neurology and collaborating departments as well as for the Texas Institute for Brain Injury and Repair (TIBIR), the Lone Star Stroke Network and the Neuroscience Nursing Research Center (NNRC).
“My main focus in this new role is to develop, promote, and organize clinical research efforts across the department from inception to implementation,” said Harper.
