After graduating, she worked as a Lab Manager\/Senior Research Technician for Dr. Jeff Gavornik&#8217;s lab in the Department of Biology at Boston University. In the Gavornik Lab, she investigated plasticity in the mammalian brain, primarily focusing on how &#8220;lower level&#8221; structures such as mouse primary visual cortex are capable of predictive encoding. In this role, she led a collaboration with Dr. Lee Goldstein&#8217;s lab to investigate how these processes are effected by traumatic brain injury. In addition to this work, Cambria also worked as a Patient Care Technician in Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center&#8217;s Hematology\/Oncology and conducted clinical research as a volunteer under the mentorship of Dr. Jesse Winer in Tufts Medical Center&#8217;s Neurosurgery Department.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>She joined the VA CTE\/PTSD Brain Bank in Fall 2022 as a Health Science Specialist where she assists in the processing of post-mortem brain tissue to research pathology and molecular biology of traumatic brain injury, post-traumatic stress disorder, and neurodegenerative disease.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Research Interests<\/h4>\n<p><span>Cambria is broadly interested in the progression of neurodegenerative diseases, both in clinical presentation and pathophysiology. She is more specifically interested in the mechanisms involved in neurodegenerative disorders as a result of repeated head injury at the level of individual neurons.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":20977,"template":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cte\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/6306"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cte\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cte\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/profile"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cte\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/20977"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cte\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/6306\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6311,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cte\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/6306\/revisions\/6311"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cte\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6306"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
