Researchers have turned their attention to the understanding and prevention
of brain trauma due to concussions through the application of science. One
such researcher is Dr. David Camarillo, an assistant professor of
bioengineering at Stanford University and former collegiate football player
at Princeton University. Camarillo heads the Camarillo Lab at Stanford,
which, among other issues, looks at brain injuries in sports. According to
his lab’s website, concussions are a form of traumatic brain injury (TBI)
that comprise between 1.6 and 3.8 million cases of TBI in the US, and it is
no secret that many concussions are a direct result of participation in
contact sports.
