The Geneva Foundation

From all of us here at The Geneva Foundation, Happy 4th of July! Today, we celebrate the birth of our great nation and honor the brave men and women who have dedicated their lives to protecting our freedoms. This Independence Day, we reaffirm our dedication to being a driving force in groundbreaking research and innovation that supports those who protect our freedom.

Geneva’s extensive collaborations have allowed for clinical innovations in TBI research. Our research is exploring new ways to optimize brain performance and recovery for the warfighter. #MilMed Identifying and treating Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is a critical priority for the DOD. The TBI Center of Excellence is a congressionally mandated collaboration of the DOD and Veterans Affairs to promote state-of-the-science care from point-of-injury to reintegration for service members, veterans, and their families to prevent and mitigate consequences of mild to severe traumatic brain injury. Check out their 2023 Annual Report to see how their #TBI research helps improve warfighter brain health. Download here. 👉 https://bit.ly/3VEUGnC

As part of Geneva’s extensive research in enhancing female service member health and readiness, one investigation explores the effects of ketamine on combat-wounded women. This research explores how ketamine, commonly used as a battlefield analgesic, impacts fear memory and brain glucose metabolism differently in females compared to males. Utilizing advanced models and non-invasive brain imaging, this study sheds light on potential sex-related differences, aiming to tailor future treatment strategies more effectively.
