Romero Geocadin, M.D., Assistant Professor

My research interest includes laboratory and clinical investigations in the field of critical care medicine with a focus in acute neurological diseases. My laboratory research focuses on the development of novel neurophysiological-based measures for the early injury detection and monitoring, as well as neuroprotective and neuroregenerative strategies for acute brain injuries in animal models. The critical care setting such as the Neurosciences Critical Care Units (NCCU) and other intensive care units of the Johns Hopkins Hospital and the Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center serve as the areas of my primary clinical research activities. I take a parallel approach in my clinical research using early neurophysiological measures for early detection of brain injuries and developing neuroprotective and therapeutic strategies in critical ill patient, particularly those with neurological injury after resuscitation from cardiac arrest, intracranial hypertension and cerebral herniation syndromes. I am also interested in the development of neuroprotective strategies for cerebral ischemia (focal and global), intracranial hemorrhage, and other acute brain injuries.
