Congratulations, Skandha🎉🥳🤩 Skandha Ramakrishnan, MS @DrexelMcbg has successfully transitioned from the MCBG MS Program to the PhD Program!!! Skandha will be doing his PhD research in the lab of Dr. Liang Oscar Qiang @DrexelNeurobio @DrexelMedicine

Congratulations to my STARS undergraduate student Diya, for a wonderful poster presentation of her summer research project. She studied the effects of intermittent hypoxia on phrenic spinal interneurons after spinal cord injury. Well done Diya! 🔬🧬🥼🧪

Tremendous session on cell transplantation to treat spinal cord injury at #ISSCR2023, from rising stars and leaders in the field of stem cell therapy: Mark Tuszynski, Cameron Hunt, Tara Fortino and Lana Zholudeva. @UCSDNeuro @ISSCR @GladstoneInst @LZholudeva @tara14o @DrexelUniv

@gwihelm, @bilchak_j and @mpcotelab (@mmscrc) show how bumetanide changes postsynaptic inhibition after chronic SCI and step-training! 📜buff.ly/3mBhxCS

Spectacular day with great seminars, breakout rooms and discussions. Huge thanks to the trainees (Shayna Singh, Jeremy Weinberger, Jenna McGrath & @adamaaronhall) and faculty advisors (@simonmdanner & Jed Shumsky) that made it happen! @peterwbaas2015 #spinalcordinjury

Extremely excited for the 2nd annual retreat of the Spinal Cord Injury Graduate Training Program at @DrexelNeurobio and @mmscrc, with special presentations from Adam Ferguson & Keith Tansey @UCSF_BASIC @mhshospitals @DrexelNews @DrexelMedicine @NeurosurgUCSF @DrexelNeurobio

Thorough review by Mariah Wulf n @VeronicaTomlab of @mmscrc/@DrexelNeurobio on sympathetic consequences of SCI, w overview of effects on heart, lungs, liver, gut, spleen, adrenals, kidney, bladder, etc, even pineal gland & eye. So much impact of SCI is not outwardly obvious!
