Science Spotlights
Unlike genetic predisposition and viral infections, spinal cord injury (SCI) can occur to anyone at any time. This session highlights cutting-edge research from teams focused on combining cell therapy with other treatment strategies for spinal cord repair. Topics will include the use of pre-clinical SCI animal models, the bioengineering of new spinal repair technologies, and the integration of cell transplantation with neural stimulation to enhance functional connectivity. Speakers include leading senior investigators in the field of SCI repair, as well as early-career investigators.
