Jason completed his MSc in the ICRP under doctors Keith Yeates and Richelle Mychasiuk. For his doctoral work he will be investigating fluid biomarkers of sport-related concussion in adolescent athletes in relation to diagnosis and prognosis of injury. He is aligned with the nationwide SHRed Concussion study and will be focusing specifically on the Calgary population for his PhD project.
