Dr Georgia Symons is a Research Fellow in the Monash Trauma Group within the Department of Neuroscience at the Central Clinical School, School of Translational Medicine, Monash University. Her research examines the neurological consequences of brain injuries arising from sports-related concussion and intimate partner violence, employing multimodal biomarker approaches that integrate biochemistry, neuroimaging, and cognitive neuroscience. She completed a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of Melbourne, followed by a Bachelor of Science (Honours) and a PhD in Neuroscience at Monash University. Her doctoral thesis was titled 'The Neurological Consequences of Engaging in Australian Rules Football'.
Symons previously conducted research on sports concussions before shifting focus to the neurological impacts of intimate partner violence, including mild traumatic brain injury and non-fatal strangulation. In her current role she contributes to studies investigating blood biomarkers, functional deficits, and therapeutic interventions such as aerobic exercise for survivors experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder. She maintains an active research profile through collaborations in the Monash Trauma Group and has presented findings on these topics in university and public forums.
Monash University's latest studies highlight how traumatic brain injury from intimate partner violence heightens PTSD, depression, and anxiety risks, urging better screening and interventions in Australia.
