Stephanie Madura

Stephanie Madura serves as an Athletic Trainer and Instructor at Mount St. Joseph University, providing clinical services for Men's and Women's Volleyball and Cheer and Dance teams while teaching in the Athletic Training Education program.

Her educational background includes:

• Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training from The University of Maine
• Master of Science in Kinesiology from Temple University
• Doctorate of Athletic Training (in progress) at A.T. Still University

Madura's research specializes in the genetic underpinnings of sports-related concussion, particularly examining SLC17A7 promoter variations. Her work bridges clinical athletic training with molecular neuroscience, focusing on individualized concussion response mechanisms and potential biomarker identification. This interdisciplinary approach combines sports medicine with genomic analysis to advance personalized injury management protocols.

Her publication in Brain Injury Journal represents significant contribution to concussion science, presented at major forums including the National Athletic Trainers' Association Annual Convention and Eastern Athletic Trainers' Symposium. While no formal awards are documented, her research dissemination demonstrates active scholarly engagement within the athletic training community.

As an educator and clinician, Madura integrates her research expertise into athletic training education while maintaining direct patient care responsibilities with university sports teams. Her current doctoral studies at A.T. Still University indicate ongoing commitment to advancing evidence-based practice in sports medicine.
