Dr. Sergot has a longstanding interest in furthering the diagnosis and care of neurological emergencies, such as stroke and traumatic brain injury. Her research focus was spurred by her experience as a Howard Hughes Research Fellow, where she investigated neurogenesis after acute stroke. She has been a Co-Investigator of Transforming Research and Clinical Knowledge in TBI (TRACK-TBI). She is a Co-I of the Neurological Emergencies Treatment Trials Network (NETT) and is a site Co-I of the Strategies to Innovate Emergency Care Clinical Trials (SIREN) network. She is also involved in device development to aid in the acute diagnosis of concussion and stroke.
