Rate My Professor Rebecca Hood

Since August 2018, Dr. Hood has held the position of TACTICS VR Project Manager in the Faculty of Health and Medicine at the University of Newcastle. Her research specializations lie in biomedical sciences-neuroscience, with keywords including cerebrospinal fluid, hypoxia, intracranial pressure, ischaemic stroke, and medical physiology. Fields of research comprise the central nervous system (75%) and medical biochemistry-proteins and peptides (25%). Notable publications include 'Intracranial pressure elevation post-stroke: Mechanisms and consequences' (2023, Frontiers in Stroke, co-authored with D.J. Beard et al.); 'Leakage beyond the primary lesion: A temporal analysis of cerebrovascular dysregulation at sites of hippocampal secondary neurodegeneration following cortical photothrombotic stroke' (2023, Journal of Neurochemistry, co-authored with R.J. Hood et al.); 'Development and Pilot Implementation of TACTICS VR: A Virtual Reality-Based Stroke Management Workflow Training Application and Training Framework' (2021, Frontiers in Neurology, co-authored with R.J. Hood et al.); and 'Ischemic penumbra as a trigger for intracranial pressure rise—A potential cause for collateral failure and infarct progression' (2016, Journal of Cerebral Blood Flow and Metabolism, co-authored with D.J. Beard et al.). These works contribute to advancing post-stroke pathophysiology understanding and stroke care innovations.
