Acute Neuronal Injuries
Faculty
D. Samba Reddy
The Reddy lab is developing innovative, disease-modifying therapies for preventing the development and progression of epilepsy.
James Grau
The Grau laboratory explores neurotrauma, pain, and plasticity, or in other words, the effect of pain on recovery after injury to the spinal cord.
Cédric G. Geoffroy
The main focus of the Geoffroy laboratory is to better understand the molecular, cellular and physiological changes occurring after neurotrauma, in particular after spinal cord injury (SCI).
Farida Sohrabji
Sohrabji’s research program focuses on brain-immune interactions regulated by estrogen and its implications for neuro-inflammatory diseases such as stroke in women.
Lee A. Shapiro
Shapiro’s lab focuses on neuroanatomical, neuropathological, neuroimmune and peripheral contributions to neurodegenerative disorders, traumatic brain injury and epilepsy.
Michelle Hook
The primary focus of Dr. Hook’s current research is examining the effects of morphine on recovery of function after spinal cord injury.
Candice Brinkmeyer-Langford
Dr. Brinkmeyer-Langford’s research focuses on the roles of genetic diversity on neurological conditions resulting from environmental agents, particularly viral infections. Her team uses Theiler's Murine Encephalomyelitis virus (TMEV), a neurotropic virus affecting mice, and the genetically diverse Collaborative Cross mouse resource, to study the mechanisms underlying neuropathological outcomes to infection.
Jennifer Dulin
Dr. Dulin and her team study the pathophysiology underlying central and
peripheral dysfunctions after spinal cord injury and develop new therapies that can improve quality of life for those living with spinal cord injury with special focus on optimizing neural stem/progenitor cell transplantation to restore neural circuitry controlling motor, sensory, and autonomic functions.
Dylan McCreedy
Dr. McCreedy and his lab are interested in the roles of early inflammatory events in tissue damage and wound healing following spinal cord injury.
