HISTORY
TBI research in Oxford spans more than 80 years, dating back to the Military Hospital for Head Injuries (MHHI) established in Oxford during World War II. The MHHI became a centre of innovation, pioneering the use of penicillin to prevent cranial infections and deploying mobile neurosurgical units to treat injuries on the battlefield.
The impact of the MHHI can still be felt today, from mandatory crash helmet laws to the the formation of the Paralympic Games. Inspired by this history, we are committed to multi-disciplinary longitudinal research centred on pioneering care and rehabilitation, to address the challenges faced by people affected by TBI today and in the future.
