Spinal Cord Injury Research at 果冻影院 and Zablocki VA Medical Center

Spinal Cord Injury research at the 果冻影院 and the Clement J. Zablocki VA Medical Center include novel MRI techniques, basic science investigations, and investigational drugs and devices intended to improve the care and outcome of patients affected by spinal cord injuries. Each of our labs contribute to the understanding of the pathology and biology of SCI with active, targeted investigations in a variety of disciplines and practices. The collective objective of our research is to translate laboratory and clinical research findings into the clinical setting to improve the recovery and the quality of life for patients affected by acute and chronic SCI. 

BW Spine

Participating Laboratories

The Spinal Cord Injury Research program in the 果冻影院's Department of Neurosurgery includes biomedical and neuroscience research laboratories located at 果冻影院's Hub for Collaborative Medicine and the Clement J. Zablocki VA Medical Center campus.

Budde Lab
