H. Alex Choi, M.D. is an Assistant Professor and neurointensivist at McGovern Medical School at UTHealth. His work focuses on research that improves patient outcomes after acute brain injury, particularly aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (SAH). He is interested in employing statistical, informatics and machine learning approaches to addresses some critical problems in the Neuroscience Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Major research interests focus on (a) prediction of secondary complications such as delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) after SAH (b) understanding abnormal neuroinflammatory activity after acute brain injury and their association with poor outcomes. Currently, the lab is focused on using network informatics approaches to model and analyze the immune profile. The immune response is complex and dynamic involving hundreds of interactions and cells and molecules. Conventional statistical methods fail to account for this intricacy. The novel bioinformatics tools developed will seek to unravel this complexity and provide deeper insights into the nature of the immune profile and (c) Clinical research/trials pertaining to SAH; working in concert with labs (Dr.Pramod Dash) involved in preclinical research to test novel anti-inflammatory therapeutics after acute brain injury.
