Our preclinical platform for new advanced therapies is now out in Science Robotics. A great journey with my co-PI G Courtine and also with Stephanie P. Lacour and several EPFL Center for Neuroprosthetics and SantAnnaPisa scientists science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…


Dr. Chris Lozano, PGY1 neurosurgery resident at Temerty Medicine spoke at Krembil Brain Institute Neurosciences Rounds on Mar 31st about, "A Middle-aged Man with Progressive Paraplegia & Urinary Incontinence" and shared some important neurobytes:


Today ONWARD's ARC-IM IPG, the first neurostimulator designed for SCI, was implanted in a human for the first time by Dr. Bloch Jocelyne. This first-in-human implant was also the first enrollment in our HemON study to assess blood pressure and trunk control in people with #SCI.



Excited to share work from my graduate thesis EPFL published in Nature Medicine ! A novel brain target to improve walking after spinal cord injury. Special thanks to G Courtine and Bloch Jocelyne as well as my amazing co-authors! nature.com/articles/s4159… #spinalcordinjury

What if you could target brain regions important for recovery after spinal cord injury with DBS? Can you say hypothamamus? Guess what Cho and colleagues from Switzerland did just that in a brilliant new paper Nature Medicine. Key Points: - People don't think about it, but guess


Did you know the Leksell Frame can be mounted upside down for easy access to the posterior fossa for DBS and brain biopsy? We show how: doi.org/10.1159/000543… #stereotacticsurgery #deepbrainstimulation #cerebellum kalialabs Artur Vetkas Newton Cho Ben Davidson


We launched our Calgary Endoscopic Spine Surgery Program this week! 🙌 We are now able to offer ultra-minimally invasive spine surgery to Albertans. We hope to create a center of excellence for research and to help train future 🇨🇦 spine endoscopists. Calgary Health Foundation UCalgaryMedicine


Excited to share our new review in Trends in Neurosciences on re-examining pathobiology of gait dysfunction in #Parkinsonsdisease and implications for future therapeutic strategies Thanks a lot to kalialabs for their supervision and support and to Trends in Neurosciences! cell.com/trends/neurosc…

Congratulations to Newton Cho our superstar spine fellow on winning the “Best Poster Presentation Award” at the AO Spine North America Fellows Forum this past weekend in Banff, Alberta!



We celebrated the graduation of our 4 amazing clinical spine fellows: Drs. Newton Cho Newton Cho, Chien Yew Kow, Drew Mulhall, and Ru Raj. It’s been an honour and privilege to see you all grow into the surgeon you are today!
