Biography

Travis J.A. Craddock, Ph.D. (Physics) is an Associate Professor in the Departments of Psychology & Neuroscience, Computer Science and Immunology at Nova Southeastern University (NSU) in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. He is the Director of the Clinical Systems Biology group at NSU’s Institute for Neuro-Immune Medicine where he applies computational biophysics methods towards the purpose of identifying novel diagnostics and treatments for illnesses involving neuroinflammation. Dr. Craddock received his Ph.D. in biophysics at the University of Alberta where his graduate research activities focused on biomolecular information processing, and nanoscale descriptions of memory, and cognitive dysfunction in neurodegenerative disorders. His current research activities are focused on using a theory driven approach to understand the underlying molecular regulation of chronic illness resulting from exposure to neurotoxins, such as anesthesia and nerve agents, in order to improve diagnosis and treatment strategies. This work is primarily funded by the U.S. Department of Defense.
