Research Matters: Meet Dr. Tom Schweizer, scientific research director of Brain Health and Wellness

Data show that one in three Canadians will be impacted by a brain injury, disorder or disease in their lifetime. As such, research on brain health is critically important, says Dr. Tom Schweizer, Unity Health’s scientific director of the Brain Health and Wellness pillar.
Schweizer focuses his own research on advanced neuroimaging techniques that can detect changes in brain structure and function that arise after traumatic brain injury (TBI), stroke and dementia.
“We all have family or know somebody that’s been affected by a brain injury or a brain disorder or disease,” he said. “The goal, ultimately, is to refine our diagnostic tools so we can identify changes in cognitive and real-world functioning as early as possible, so we can better treat and improve patient quality of life.”
