The Reeve-Irvine Research Medal Symposium is a unique symposium that occurs once a year in conjunction with the Reeve-Irvine Research Medal Award. This year the symposium is focused on improving translational studies with an emphasis on learning more about current experimental models, pathophysi-ological mechanisms of SCI and existing translational work. We have brought together experts that have made significant contributions in SCI research in the aforementioned areas. Additionally, some of our speakers have either been involved in previous clinical trials or are currently involved in therapies that have great potential for clinical applications in the future.
Improving Translational
Studies for SCI
Target Audience
Topics
Experimental models for SCI, translational studies for SCI,
immune and neuroprotective mechanisms of SCI, outcomes
and potential targets for SCI therapies.
