About
Principal Investigator
Dr. Martin G. Frasch, MD, PhD
Martin is a neuroscientist focused on improving perinatal health outcomes by studying the brain's responses to asphyxia, inflammation/infection, and stress. His research applies machine learning techniques for signal analysis and AI frameworks to convert medical data into physiological phenotypes with predictive potential.
His work emphasizes non-invasive monitoring technologies (ECG, EEG) to identify at-risk babies. His preclinical research examines how prenatal harmful events shape brain development, particularly regarding glial biology, microglia, and astrocytes—relevant to neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases like Multiple Sclerosis and Alzheimer's.
