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.

>1700 faculty in BME, only 34 Blacks! @NIH wants to hire more-great! Problem? NIH funding process discriminates against Black PIs. >10 yrs @NIHDirector has known but not fixed.
