Right inside the Hydrocephalus Research Center at the School of Science at IU Indianapolis, groundbreaking research is being done that could change the lives of hydrocephalus patients. 🧠🔬 With a hub of more than 30 people spanning across multiple disciplines, all contributors set their sights on one common goal: Finding a drug treatment for hydrocephalus, a debilitating condition caused by the excessive buildup of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain’s ventricles. “We started basically from scratch,” said Bonnie Blazer-Yost, professor of biology and director of the center. “Now we have postdocs, graduate students, undergraduates, new faculty members. Along the way, everybody’s developed a camaraderie in the center. They work like crazy, and to see that passion is extremely rewarding.” The team’s latest research will be presented at the Hydrocephalus Association’s HA Connect conference, July 23-25 in Indianapolis, where faculty and students will share findings with leading researchers from around the world and host tours of the center.
