Congratulations to Dr. Collin Labak, recipient of the Kuntz Scholar Award at the 2026 Spine Summit, recognizing his outstanding abstract on research supported by an NREF grant. His work, “Implementation of Value-Based Spine Care Delivery at an Academic Health System: A Descriptive Analysis,” highlights how structured, multidisciplinary value-based care models can improve outcomes while reducing complications, readmissions, and unnecessary surgery. NREF is proud to support research like Dr. Labak’s that advances innovative approaches to spine care and helps shape a more effective, patient-centered future for neurosurgery. @cwru

Congratulations to Laureen Hachem, MD, PhD, on the publication of her latest research in Nature Neuroscience. Supported in part by funding from the Neurosurgery Research & Education Foundation (NREF), this important work advances our understanding of how the spinal cord responds to injury and identifies mechanisms that may help unlock the regenerative potential of neural stem and progenitor cells. By exploring ways to enhance cellular activation and migration after spinal cord injury, Dr. Hachem and her colleagues are helping move the field closer to therapies that could improve recovery and functional outcomes for patients.@UofT Department of Surgery
