The Sribnick Lab’s research focuses on how the body’s immune system responds after traumatic brain injury. We know that severe injuries are capable of causing the body’s immune system to temporarily not function well. This leaves patients at risk of having a infection while recovering. Patients who have had a severe brain injury and then go on to have an infection while recovering are at higher risk for poor outcome and even death. Preventing immune dysfunction and infection could improve outcomes. The Sribnick Lab uses an animal model to create and study these conditions. Our ultimate goal is to better understand how the brain injury impacts immune function, whether this can be reversed, and whether improving immune function after injury is a safe and effective therapy.

Eric Sribnick, MD, PhD Principal Investigator Eric.Sribnick@NationwideChildrens.org Eric A. Sribnick is a pediatric neurosurgeon at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. He is a South Carolina native and attended Presbyterian College in Clinton, SC where he majored in English and biology. He then went to University of Wales, Bangor to study Arthurian Literature. He attended medical/graduate school at the Medical University of South Carolina. Neurosurgery residency and pediatric fellowship were at Emory University. During medical school, he reversed a lifetime of poor decision making by convincing Sarah-Rachel Sribnick to marry him. They have three children (Elijah, Isadora and Avi), and Sarah-Rachel still gracefully puts up with Eric. Eric has a clinical and research interest in neurotrauma. His current work examines immune response following a combined injury (traumatic brain injury plus an external injury) and the possibility of using immunomodulation to improve outcomes. His outside interest include bicycling, hiking, and collecting vinyl records.
Timothy Warner Senior Research Associate Timothy.Warner@NationwideChildrens.org Timothy Warner has a B.S. in Biology and Neuroscience from Indiana University, and an M.S. in Anatomy & Cell Biology from the Indiana University School of Medicine. His duties include general lab management, planning and running experiments. His research interests are in traumatic central nervous system injury and understanding the short and long term effects of these injuries on immune response and behavior.
