A Post Doctoral position is available to study the anatomical and functional integration of both exogenous glial and endogenous neural precursor cells within animal models of brain and spinal cord injury. Additional work will examine whether pharmacological or molecular (gene therapy) methodologies can be used conjunctively with neural precursor cells to enhance their cell-specific differentiation and to increase their efficacy for repair.
