Stabenfeldt Lab

Regenerative Strategies for Neural Injury

Each year in the United States over 1.7 million individuals will experience a traumatic or ischemic-related brain injury, with 350,000 persons sustaining a severe to moderate traumatic brain injury (TBI) and an additional 800,000 people suffering from stroke. Our laboratory specifically focuses on (1) engineering novel targeted diagnostic and therapeutic (‘theranostic’) biomaterials for neural injury/disease and (2) identifying endogenous neural stem cell homing mechanisms after injury and incorporating such biosignals into tissue-engineered matrices.

💯 @bri_martinez100 I vividly recall our interview meeting and knew you were a great scientist then and would continue to grow your skills. Stay endlessly curious!

Briana I. Martinez@bri_martinez100

I love all the stories being shared in the #BlackJourneyToNeuro tag 🥰My story isn't very unique but I just want to emphasize to aspiring scientists that pursuing what makes you curious is what will make you happy in the end.

#BlackNeuroRollCall
I recently earned my PhD in Neuroscience while studying phage display as a TBI biomarker discovery tool. Now I'm a postdoc researching molecular mechanisms of alcohol addiction. So excited for #BlackInNeuroWeek ❤🧠❤🧠!!
