Faith Brennan

Dr. Faith Brennan is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biomedical and Molecular Sciences at Queen's University, Canada, leading the Neurotrauma Laboratory. She holds academic appointments in the Faculty of Health Sciences and is affiliated with the Translational Institute of Medicine (TIME). Her research focuses on neuroinflammation and peripheral complications post-neurotrauma, particularly spinal cord injury. Brennan completed her Ph.D. in Physiology at the University of Queensland (2015) and post-doctoral work at The Ohio State University, supported by prestigious fellowships.

Her educational background includes a B.Sc. Hons (Class I) and a B.Sc. in Medical Science from the University of Queensland. She has secured significant funding, including grants from the NSERC, CFI, and Wings for Life Foundation. Her lab investigates microglial roles in neural repair, autonomic plasticity, and systemic immune interactions post-injury.

Key achievements include awards such as the EBIC Sir Graham Teasdale Award (2021) and recognition for mentorship. The Brennan Lab actively recruits students and researchers in neuroscience, immunology, and genomics. Their work bridges basic science and clinical applications, aiming to improve outcomes for neurotrauma patients.
