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.

Jordan hosted a talk at the 2018 Biomedical Engineering Society about her research in synthetic platelets reducing neuroinflammation in experimental traumatic brain injury. Presenting in front of so many fellow researchers is no easy task. Great job Jordan!

Congratulations to Jordan and Kassy!
