About Me
Bryan Pfister received his BS from Clarkson University, earned his PhD in Material Science and Engineering from the Johns Hopkins University in 2002 and did his post-doctoral study in the Department of Neurosurgery, University of Pennsylvania. Bryan joined the NJIT Biomedical Engineering Department in January 2006 where he now serves as Department Chair. He played a leading role in the department’s initial ABET academic accreditation in 2006 and recently chaired the accreditation visit in 2013. More recently he has helped establish the Center for Injury Biomechanics, Materials and Medicine, New Jersey’s first Research Center focused on Nervous system injury and repair. His commitment to teaching earned him the 2009 Educator of the Year Award by the American Council of Engineering Companies of NJ. Dr. Pfister is proud of consistently providing extracurricular experiences at the undergraduate level including a National Science Foundation Research Experience for Undergraduates program, enhanced capstone design program and clinical observerships. Dr. Pfister’s research encompasses how mechanical forces affect the nervous system – spanning from stretch induced growth during development to axonal stretch injury in traumatic brain injuries. He is also working to determine biomechanics of brain injury from blunt and blast injuries using both animate models and full scale inanimate models of the human brain. He is also a co-PI on a grant from the Army to develop a primary blast injury criteria for animal/human TBI models using field validated shock tubes. He is funded by the Army Research Laboratory, National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health and the New Jersey Commission on Brain Injury Research.

Research Interests
My laboratory practices a holistic approach to studying traumatic brain injury (TBI). To address the complex question in TBI, the lab employs (1) unique in vitro models that replicate biomechanical loading parameters to study specific molecular sequelae of neuronal injury in real time, (2) in vivo models that precisely replicate injury parameters to study the effects on physiological and behavioral function, and (3) full scale human models of the head as well as post mortem human subjects to biomechanically create the full scale boundary conditions of head trauma. In this effort, we have developed a core of collaboration and team research from surrounding institutions including the NJ Medical School, Rutgers Newark, and the East Orange VA Hospital. Our research takes place in the Center for Injury Biomechanics Materials and Medicine. I serve as the center’s associate director; currently combining the efforts of 8 core faculty.
The core of the lab’s research objectives encompass how mechanical forces affect the nervous system – spanning from stretch induced growth during development to traumatic tissue deformation in traumatic brain injuries. For this effort, our lab has engineered in vitro and animal models to specifically elucidate biological mechanisms and electrophysiological alterations associated with blunt and blast TBI. These efforts are scaled to the human level through an effort funded by a NSF MRI to develop a human scale blunt and blast model to measure the related spatial and temporal deformations within the brain tissues.
