Strahle Lab
The Strahle lab investigates how germinal matrix hemorrhage-intraventricular hemorrhage (GMH-IVH) leads to brain injury and hydrocephalus in infants, aiming to develop targeted therapies to improve outcomes. Using a multidisciplinary approach, we study the roles of blood breakdown products, cilia function, and cerebrospinal fluid dynamics in disease pathogenesis.
