RESEARCH AREA
Dr. Glenn’s research interests have focused on the relationships between cerebral blood flow, cerebral vascular function, and metabolism. He has investigated the influence of trauma and subarachnoid hemorrhage on these cerebral parameters. Much of this research has been conducted in the critical care environment on patients with acute types of brain injury.
