Additional Information
Associate Professor In Residence with secondary appointment in Pediatric Neurology. Dr. Giza conducts research investigating the physiological and molecular response of the developing brain to traumatic injury. His current laboratory interests include neuroplasticity, recovery from injury, concussive injury, sport-related brain injuries and brain development. He runs the Pediatric Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) clinic at UCLA that provides neurological follow-up of head-injured children with all severities of TBI, and is actively involved in clinical investigations related to post-traumatic epilepsy and recovery of function.
