Neural Regeneration Group
The Neural Regeneration Focus group brings together researchers interested in understanding the mechanisms of neural development, modeling neural disorders and harnessing the potential of neural regeneration. The group promotes communication within the group and identifies areas of collaboration. The Neuroregeneration SFG strives to include researchers in diverse disciplines and welcomes investigators working in areas outside of neural development and regeneration.
Mission:
The overall goal of the Neural Regeneration Focus Group is to bring together researchers with similar interests from across campus to improve communication, collaboration, resource sharing, fund raising and other activities within neural development, neural function and neural regeneration.
