Mary Jo Pugh, PhD, RN

Professor/Research Career Scientist
University of Utah/VA Salt Lake City
Salt Lake City, UT, United States

Integrating her training as a Veteran, nurse, and developmental psychologist Dr. Pugh developed a research program to examine the long-term sequelae and outcomes of military exposures. Over the past decade her work has used VA data to identify phenotypes in populations with complex comorbidity including those with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Dr. Pugh’s current work includes longitudinal observational and prospective studies to identify the emergence of distinct neurodegenerative conditions such as cognitive impairment and epilepsy that may have similar/networked biological underpinnings. Her longitudinal population-based observational studies currently link Department of Defense combat theatre and health system data with VA health system data with primary data collection including survey, neuroimaging, neuropsychological testing, and biomarkers. These studies using artificial intelligence aim to identify risk factors and investigate the possibility of using personalized medicine to identify optimal treatment pathways for specific phenotypes that inform treatment guidelines for TBI in the context of multimorbidity.
