Protecting and repairing the brain early in life. [ 2016 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Lachlan Thompson (Principal investigator)

Brief description This proposal seeks to determine the therapeutic potential of stem cells for the treatment of brain injury early in life, for example as occurs in cerebral palsy. The project will test the capacity of implanted stem cells to both protect the brain and also to functionally replace cells lost to the injury in order to improve motor and cognitive function.
