Neural Repair Institute: Advancing the Field of Neural Repair

Mission Statement of The Neural Repair Institute:

The field of neural regeneration has been growing exponentially in the last two decades.  Previously, it was generally held that there was virtually no regeneration or possibility for regeneration in the Central Nervous System (CNS).  This notion has changed as recent studies have demonstrated that CNS regeneration and repair are indeed possible.
 
The general public and even many scientists, physicians, and other health professionals are not aware of recent evolutionary changes in the field of CNS repair.  It is important to keep this audience apprised of the tremendous progress being made in the field of neural repair.  Millions of patients around the world are suffering from intractable diseases of the CNS; therefore, it becomes crucial to raise awareness about these diseases and the strategies used to induce the brain and spinal cord to regenerate when they are affected by such disorders.  One of the two main goals of the Neural Repair Institute is to raise health awareness across various sectors of the population and health care community that increases research progress and eventually leads to reduced incidence, morbidity and mortality of these disorders.  Our second goal is to run research projects aiming to advance the field of neural repair and find new strategies to enhance regeneration after injury.  Both animal and human studies are carried out; but special attention is given to clinical trials.
