SCoBIRC FACULTY
The SCoBIRC faculty includes researchers and
clinicians from a variety of disciplines, working together to promote
the multidisciplinary interactions and the cross-fertilization of ideas.
The studies range from fundamental neuroscience research to clinical
applications.
SCoBIRC Research Focus Areas
- Treatments to minimize damage and promote repair mechanisms
following spinal cord or brain injury
- Strategies to promote neuronal regeneration, including gene therapy
- Understanding the mechanisms involved in axon guidance and
myelination
- Implementation of advanced control systems for functional
neuromuscular stimulation
