Overview
Our brain and nervous system research explores how the central and peripheral nervous systems develop, function, and respond to injury or disease. By advancing knowledge in neuroscience, we aim to improve the diagnosis, treatment, and recovery of neurological conditions.
What We Study
We investigate the biological mechanisms underlying brain and nerve function, as well as the causes and progression of neurological disorders. Our research spans from molecular and cellular studies to clinical trials and neurorehabilitation.
Key Focus Areas
- Neurodegenerative Diseases – Understanding and developing treatments for conditions like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and ALS.
- Brain Injury and Stroke – Studying recovery and repair mechanisms to improve outcomes after injury.
- Neuroplasticity and Recovery – Exploring how the brain adapts and heals, and how rehabilitation can support this process.
- Neuroinflammation and Immunity – Investigating how immune responses affect brain health and disease.
- Cognition and Behavior – Examining how brain activity relates to learning, memory, emotion, and mental health.
Our Approach
We bring together neuroscientists, clinicians, engineers, and rehabilitation experts to translate discoveries into real-world therapies. Our interdisciplinary research drives innovation in both acute care and long-term neurological recovery.
Goal
To advance understanding of the brain and nervous system and to develop effective treatments that improve neurological health and quality of life.
