Description

We are a newly established lab studying how inflammation after brain injury affects neurological recovery. We utilize translational approaches to understand molecular mechanisms underlying functional recovery. Molecular events are modified in mice using either transgenic models or novel small molecule compounds, and then we test the effects on functional recovery. Main areas of interest are how regenerative responses affect recovery from stroke and the effects of TGF-beta1 on the immune response after stroke. Some projects may also utilize samples from patients and involve interaction with the Stanford Stroke Center.
