个人简介
Associate Professor Gardner is a mid-career research fellow with the School of Medicine & Public Health and the Hunter Medical Research Institute (HMRI), as well as a Co-Director of the Hunter New England Local Health District (HNE LHD)'s Sport Concussion Clinic. He serves as a member of the World Rugby Concussion working group, he is the concussion consultant to Rugby Australia, and serves on the Australian Football League concussion scientific advisory group. A/Prof Gardner is the Principal Investigator of the Former Elite Level Athlete Brain Health Research Program.
A/Prof Gardner is a clinical neuropsychologist with a particular interest in sports concussion. He was drawn to sports concussion by his love of sport and his fascination with the human brain. He has now conducted research in the field of sports concussion for over a decade, having first worked as a research assistant for the New England Paediatric Head Trauma Program in 2003. He received first class honours in Psychology (University of New England, Armidale, NSW) in 2005 and subsequently completed a Doctor of Psychology (Clinical Neuropsychology) degree at Macquarie University, Sydney, where he conducted research examining the acute and cumulative neuropsychological consequences of sports concussion in semi-professional rugby union players. His thesis received the prestigious award for the Most Outstanding Dissertation for 2011 from the National Academy of Neuropsychology (USA); the first, and still the only, time this award has been bestowed upon a student who studied outside of North America. Following this A/Prof Gardner completed his PhD in the School of Medicine and Public Health, at the University of Newcastle, studying brain ageing in retired elite level collision sport athletes. His research interests cover the full spectrum of concussion, from injury prevention with tackle techniques, to injury identification via video analysis, to acute assessment through the validation of various measures, to the evaluation of later life brain and mental health of former athletes. The translational focus of these research programs aims to advance knowledge and improve health care by generating evidence-informed data to advance policy development.
A/Prof Gardner's research and expert opinion have also been sought for the development of policy papers produced by Brain Injury Australia “Concussions in Sport” (October, 2012), and Alzheimer’s Australia (NSW) “Football, head injuries and the risk of dementia” (March 2013/March 2016), and Sports Medicine Australia (SMA)'s concussion policy (February 2018). He was also involved in the production and delivery of the SMA Community and Medical Concussion Workshops in NSW that came off the back of the release of this policy. In 2013 he was invited as a leading early career researcher to contribute to the Australian Academy of Science Theo Murphy High Flyer's Think Tank on 'inspiring smarter brain research in Australia'. He was also awarded an Australian Endeavour Research Fellowship to visit Harvard Medical School for four months in 2014. In 2015 A/Prof Gardner was awarded the Discovery Award from Research Australia as the national early career researcher of the year for 2015. In 2016 he was awarded the Beryl Nashar Young Researcher Award by the University of Newcastle alumni advisory committee, an award that recognises achievements of early- and mid-career researchers. In 2016 A/Prof Gardner also received an 'Emerging Health Researcher Commendation Award' from the Bupa Health Foundation, an award that recognises the valuable contribution of emerging health researchers to health outcomes for all Australians. In 2017 he was awarded a University of New England Alumni Early Career Achievement Award, recognising his outstanding contribution to the field of sport and neuropsychology, and was made a 2017 AMP Tomorrow Maker to support the clinical and research work within the HNE LHD Sports Concussion Clinic. He also received the 2017 Vice-Chancellor's Award for Early Career Research and Innovation Excellence for the Faculty of Health. In 2018 A/Prof Gardner received a Fulbright Postdoctoral Award and traveled to Boston further his collaborative work with colleagues at Harvard Medical School. He was also a 2018 NSW Young Tall Poppy Science Award recipient, recognition as one of Australia’s outstanding young scientific researchers and communicators. He also received the inaugural Hunter New England Local Health District Psychology Researcher of the Year Award for 2018. In 2020 he received HMRI's Early Career Researcher of the Year award.
A/Prof Gardner has established strong research collaborations, particularly with international experts from Harvard Medical School, Vanderbilt University, UCLA, and the University of Colorado. He has created strong relationships through community engagement and sports concussion educational programs and works at the interface of research and clinical application through the HNE LHD Sports Concussion Clinic. He has engaged with industry to conduct end-user driven research, as well as assist tech companies validate products that provide relevant solutions to concussion-related problems.
