Dr. Gaudet and his lab have been awarded a grant from Mission Connect, a program of the TIRR Foundation! Mission Connect is a group that connects and funds spinal cord injury research in Texas. The group holds monthly meetings, and organizes a top-notch research meeting in Houston every November.
Gaudet’s grant will explore the role of neuroinflammation and phagocytosis after spinal cord injury. The proposal combines complementary transgenic and pharmacologic approaches. We are excited to proceed with this study, with an aim to identify novel neuroprotective therapies that improve SCI outcomes.
