Brain injury in the premature born infant: stem cell regeneration research network [ 3/1/2020 - 6/30/2025 ]

Research Grant

Brief description This project will validate to the stage of clinical trials a human mesenchymal stem cell paradigm to prevent brain injury associated with preterm birth: encephalopathy of prematurity (EoP), which leads to lifelong disability in millions of infants every year. We will achieve this by applying our vast expertise in EoP, across 7 in vivo and 11 in vitro models of EoP, by applying cutting-edge imaging approaches and partnering with experienced patient/consumer advocacy and industry partners.
