Assistant Professor
Georgetown University
Washington, District of Columbia
Dr. Bevan Main is a Research Assistant Professor at the Laboratory for Brain Injury and Dementia, in the Neuroscience Department at Georgetown University, Washington D.C. Originally from Australia, Bevan carried out his undergraduate and post-graduate studies at the University of Melbourne, completing his PhD in 2015 where he studied the neuroinflammatory role of type-1 interferons in preclinical models of Parkinson’s disease. Bevan moved to the USA in 2016 for his postdoctoral training with Dr. Mark Burns in the Neuroscience Department at Georgetown University Medical Center. In 2019 he was appointed to the position of Research Assistant Professor within the same department, where his current research uses a combination of animal models, molecular neurobiology, behavioral and next-generation sequencing techniques to understand how repetitive head impacts and moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) contributes to the development of neurodegenerative disorders later in life.
