Biography
Stuart is a Principal Investigator of the Monash Trauma Group, and Director of Fluid Biomarker Research in the Department of Neuroscience. Stuart’s research has focused on improving understanding of how the injured brain interacts with peripheral body systems, and how novel blood tests may be used to improve clinical management of traumatic brain injuries.
In January 2019, Dr McDonald was recruited to the newly formed Department of Neuroscience at Monash, where he leads a translational research program investigating mild traumatic brain injuries.
