Drake fell in love with medicine and neuroscience after surviving a traumatic brain injury, leading him to pursue acute brain injury research. After graduation, Drake plans to attend medical school, eventually seeking a neurosurgical residency. At CBR, Drake works under the MD project, using MRI analyses to investigate post-stroke aphasia and the correlations between lesion and behavior. Outside of CBR, Drake is a data specialist at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, assisting in research of disorders of consciousness after acute brain injury. For fun, Drake is a drummer for the BU marching and pep bands.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Research Interests<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Traumatic brain injury, progressive neurological disease, stroke<\/p>\n<p><strong>Current Project(s)<br \/>\n<\/strong>MD Project<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conference Presentation\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Sullivan, J.<\/strong>, Kropp, E., Varkanitsa, M., Kiran, S.
