"Welcome to the NeuroSpine Lab, a vibrant community of international scholars united by our passion to unlock the mysteries of spinal cord injury. We are affiliated with Simon Fraser University, the International Collaboration on Repair Discoveries (ICORD) at University of British Columbia and collaborate closely with world-class institutions like UC Davis, expanding our impact and driving innovative research in our field.
Our lab pursues two main areas of research: modeling spinal cord injuries and studying fall mechanics. In our relentless pursuit to build the perfect spinal cord model, our work extends to contusion injuries in non-human primates, in collaboration with UC Davis. This project forms a cornerstone of our mission to make substantial contributions to spinal cord injury research, potentially offering unprecedented insights into treatment and recovery options for patients.
Parallelly, we delve deep into the world of fall mechanics. Our focus here lies not just in the mechanics of the fall itself, but also in the soft tissue mechanics and environmental effects that accompany it. As we traverse this intricate field, we place a particular emphasis on considering sex differences, understanding that biology and demographics play a vital role in how falls and their consequences are experienced.
Our team is comprised of a diverse and talented family of international students, each contributing unique perspectives and a shared commitment to our research. They are the heart of our lab, driving our discoveries and propelling us toward our goals.
At the NeuroSpine Lab, we believe that our explorations today will lead to the transformative neurological healthcare solutions of tomorrow. Join us as we continue our quest to advance the understanding of spinal cord health, fall mechanics, and their overarching impact on human life."
