Mend the Gap Profiles: Meet Dr. Christian Göritz from the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden!

.Mend The Gap is about integrating recent scientific advances and accelerating efforts towards a regenerative treatment for spinal cord injury. Check out the international team and partners (it includes SCI BC!) and learn more about their approach: mendthegap.ubc.ca

The diversity of expertise within our team allows us to simultaneously address the many challenges of spinal cord injury (SCI)!

Congratulations Dr. Grishmi Rajbhandari! We are excited to have you as a part of our team! #mendthegap

Once thought to be impossible, effective regeneration of axons needs an interdisciplinary team that can: (1) create a physical track for the axons to follow (2) create the right biochemical and cellular environment and (3) test in the lab and in tissue!

It was a pleasure to host our global Mend the Gap team in Vancouver, BC from June 7-8 for our very first symposium! We look forward to expanding on our discussions & working together on the grand challenge of repairing the spinal cord after injury! #sci #nfrf

“I want my work to be part of a larger narrative and to have a positive impact in the world,” says UBC Electrical & Computer Engineering's Dr. John Madden. He currently serves as the director of Mend the Gap (Mend The Gap) a global interdisciplinary team working on spinal cord repair. engineering.ubc.ca/spotlight/rese…

💡🗣️ Join us for a virtual event with the UBC-led "Mend the Gap" team on spinal cord injury (SCI) research! Hear from Drs. Madden, Tetzlaff & Barretto as they share innovative approaches & engage with your questions. Register now: bit.ly/4ehkNca Mend The Gap #SCI #UBC

Join us for an interactive conversation with experts to discuss new approaches being developed for SCI in Nov 6, 2024 from 12pm-1pm PDT!
