Injuries at different levels of the spinal cord trigger different cellular responses. Developing a molecular map of SCI across time and lesion level, will guide targeted treatments for patients with varying levels of injury that can be rapidly tested and translated.
OUR WHY

It will take vision, coordination, innovation and unwavering commitment. Research is absolutely critical in finding a cure
