The American Brain Trauma Foundation, chaired today by philanthropist, Harvard graduate and businessman Alan Quasha, was founded in 1986 by Jamshid Ghajar.  To date, Ghajar has worked at the New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center as well as director for various medical grants.  These include:  guidelines that receive funding from the US Transportation department, and the Soros Head Injury Initiative in Central and Eastern Europe.

Today, Quasha and Ghajar work alongside each other in their efforts at the Brain Trauma Foundation.  Alan Quasha serves as the foundation’s chair and Ghajar its President.  The two of them (with their team) spend their time researching new ways to deal with head trauma victims to greatly improve the prognosis of those who are recuperating from such injuries.
