Preclinical Mechanistic and Neuroprotection Research in Traumatic Brain Injury and Clinical trials, and Neuromonitoring Techniques in the Injured Brain.
Cell replacement therapy, either mediated by neurotrophin augmentation of endogenous Progenitor cells, or transplantation strategies, has become an important lab focus, since the award of an RO1 entitled “Modulation of Hippocampal Neurogenesis and Cognitive recovery after neurotrauma”.
Many mechanisms of injury, and strategies for neuroprotection and repair, are common to both Severe Traumatic Brain injury, and Spinal cord injury.
