Research Interests
Examines secondary injury processes following traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) and pharmacological/gene therapeutic interventions for SCI. More specifically, studies the pathophysiological role of cell cycle activation in SCI using complementary genetic and pharmacological strategies. Also studies nocifensive behaviors and central pain regulation after experimental SCI, and the role of mitochondrial DNA in cell death.Publications
