Program Summary
The Cornerstone program aims to develop safe and effective Integrated Countermeasures to prevent brain injury.
Military personnel face a high risk of traumatic brain injury (TBI) resulting in a debilitating long-term burden both to the person, as well as the healthcare infrastructure. At this time, no treatments for TBI have progressed past Phase II clinical trials. Cornerstone aims to improve mission execution, and warfighter protection by addressing this gap.
Ultimately, the development of prophylactic therapeutics that prevent injury by blocking the initiation of harmful signaling will sustain warfighter readiness, and facilitate a strategic, operational, and tactical advantage.
