| Research Focus | Stem cell therapy Stroke Neonatal hypoxic-ischemic injury Parkinson's disease Traumatic brain injury Translational research |
| Research Description | My laboratory embodies translational "bench to clinic" research in advancing cell therapy for stroke and other CNS diseases. Clinically relevant animal models of human neurological disorders are used to test effectiveness and safety, as well as mechanisms of action of stem cells, which are pivotal parameters for clinical application. |
