Nathan K. Evanson

Nathan K. Evanson is a Clinical Assistant Professor at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, affiliated with the Division of Pediatric Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. His clinical practice focuses on pediatric acquired brain injury, including traumatic brain injury, hypoxic injuries, and inflammatory injuries.

• Bachelor's Degree: Biochemistry and Nutritional Science, Brigham Young University (2002)
• Doctoral Degree: Neuroscience, University of Cincinnati (2010)
• Residency: Pediatrics and Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center (2015)

Evanson's research bridges traumatic brain injury and metabolomics, with a focus on animal models for recovery mechanisms and metabolic dysregulation in chronic brain injury. He also investigates HPA axis stress responses and endocannabinoid signaling in neuroendocrinology.

His publications (2002-2018) cover topics spanning neurotrauma, neuroendocrinology, and pharmacology, with key studies on glutamate receptor signaling, stress response pathways, and pharmacologic interventions. He co-authored multiple articles with James P. Herman, contributing to understanding stress regulation and traumatic injury recovery.

Evanson leads the Brain Recovery After Injury (BRAIN) clinic at Cincinnati Children's, translating his basic research into clinical applications for pediatric rehabilitation. His work emphasizes the intersection of pediatric neurology, metabolic profiling, and neuropharmacology in improving outcomes after brain injury.
