ENIGMA
The ENIGMA project is a worldwide consortium of scientists seeking to better understand brain structure and function, its genetic underpinnings, and alterations in clinical disorders. Click here to see a list of working groups within the Brain Injury Consortium.
Purpose
The ENIGMA Brain Injury group was formed in 2016 to create a collaborative framework for scientists to work together and investigate questions related to brain injury that require large amounts of data. ENIGMA aims to accelerate the pace of scientific discovery by bringing together intellectual resources, computational power, and cross-sectional approaches to important questions.
Background
The Brain Injury group—led by Lisa Wilde, PhD; Emily Dennis, PhD; and David Tate, PhD—are composed of 10 subgroups (see below) that are divided based on injury mechanism and patient population.
All groups are currently recruiting and open to new collaborators, so if you are interested in participating in any, please email the principal investigators (PIs) listed, or Dr. Dennis (emily.dennis@hsc.utah.edu).
