Complement Alternative Pathway Initiation Contributes to Post-Hemorrhagic Hydrocephalus in a Neonatal GMH Model.

Dr. Mohammed Alshareef is an Assistant Professor in the School of Medicine at University of Colorado Denver Anschutz Medical Campus. His study entitled “Complement alternative pathway initiation contributes to post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus in a neonatal GMH model” aims to understand the complement system’s role in post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus (PHH) and target inhibitors to pharmacologically treat neonates with germinal matrix hemorrhage with intraventricular hemorrhage (GMH-IVH). The goal of this study is to prevent hydrocephalus from developing while reducing the number of children requiring surgical intervention following GMH-IVH.
