The goal of ENTiRe is to provide be a research accelerator that brings ideas into practice. Every experiment is planned with the end goal of improving lives and restoring function for those with neurotrauma and neuropathic pain. This team has the tools, knowledge, and determination needed for success.
Tools
- Clinically-relevant models of traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, and neuropathic pain with a focus on translational porcine models
- Clinically-relevant methods for sampling blood, cerebrospinal fluid, and tissue to determine drug concentration and target engagement in porcine models
- Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)-guided neuronavigation for precise control of instrumentation or drug delivery to the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord)
- Back-translation of outcome measures used in human clinical medicine practice to preclinical models
Dedication
This is what we are called to do.
"The price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand, and the determination that whether we win or lose, we have applied the best of ourselves to the task at hand." – Vince Lombardi
