Our translational research lab is working on ischemic spinal cord injury and paralysis after aortic aneurysm surgery. We have developed and published small and large animal models to discover the mechanisms at the cellular and molecular levels of the damage to the spinal cord and discover new therapeutics. We also have a clinical trial to understand the current standard of care and provide innovative care to eliminate paralysis after aortic aneurysm repair. Our lab has preclinical and clinical tools to advance the field of ischemic spinal cord injury and paralysis.
