We use a multi-faceted approach to reveal beneficial strategies for improving spinal cord injury repair, neuroinflammation, and neuropathology.
Damage after spinal cord injury and other neuropathologies is exacerbated by ineffective cellular responses. Exaggerated neuroinflammation, disrupted circadian rhythms, and poor neural plasticity all contribute to worsened outcomes. In the Gaudet laboratory, we aim to use innovative ideas and techniques to better understand mechanisms related to nervous system trauma, chronic pain, and mood disorders, which could lead to novel therapeutic strategies.
