Master of Science in Neuroscience - Spinal Cord and Brain Injury

Our collaborative research employs contemporary advances in stem cell transplantation, gene therapy, pain and motor control, rehabilitation, pharmacology, and neuromodulation to investigate basic spinal cord and brain function, spinal cord and brain injury processes, and develop strategies for treating spinal cord and brain injuries. For more than 30 years, students and faculty have been running a vibrant and diverse research program focused on understanding sequelae of spinal cord injury (SCI) and investigating strategies for repair and functional recovery.Our collaborative group applies contemporary cutting-edge advances in stem cell transplantation, physiology of locomotion and respiration, gene therapy, rehabilitation protocols and pharmacological interventions to open new avenues for more effective treatments for acute and chronic spinal cord injury.
