Research Interests
Dr. Mondello's research aims to identify effective therapeutics for spinal cord injury. Currently, her primary focus is utilizing optogenetic spinal stimulation as both a potential therapeutic and a method for better understanding the effects of specific cell-types, populations and pathways on recovery after spinal cord injury in rodent SCI models. She also investigates other potential treatments including, but not limited to, electrical stimulation and delivery of promising therapeutic agents.
