Stephanie Plummer

Dr. Stephanie Plummer is a Lecturer in the Medical Sciences department at the University of Adelaide. Her research focuses on neurosurgical innovations, traumatic brain injury (TBI), and cerebrovascular disorders. Key areas include neuroprotective therapies, minimally invasive surgical techniques, and the application of novel biomaterials such as microchips in preclinical models. She has contributed to studies analyzing outcomes of surgical interventions like decompressive craniectomy and recurrent aneurysm clipping.

Her work spans basic science to clinical applications, with notable projects exploring the efficacy of the amyloid precursor protein derivative APP96-110 in TBI treatment. Recent studies (2023-2024) emphasize phase 2a trials for intracerebral hemorrhage evacuation and observational microchip implantation in rodents. Her research also addresses post-trauma complications, such as sleep disturbances following sports-related concussions.

Dr. Plummer’s articles reflect a trajectory from foundational protein interaction studies (2014–2015) toward advanced clinical applications (2023–2024). Her work bridges neurology, surgery, and pharmacology, aiming to improve outcomes for neurovascular and traumatic conditions. No awards or grants are explicitly listed, though her consistent publication record suggests ongoing research activity.
