Spinal Cord Injury and Regeneration: Bridging Molecular Insights and Therapeutic Innovation

This Gordon Research Conference (GRC) series along with the accompanying Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) provides a forum for the exchange of the most exciting and up-to-date scientific data and novel ideas in the rapidly advancing field of CNS injury and repair, with a focus on the spinal cord. Spinal cord injury presents a major unmet medical need and exemplifies many of the challenges in dysfunctions of the central nervous system (CNS). The complexity of spinal cord injury calls for a multi-pronged approach to understand and tackle this neurological condition. The conference will feature an exciting program with speakers presenting innovative research topics ranging from neuroprotective, neuroregenerative, neuromodulatory, neurotechnological and other strategies. A one-day GRS preceding the GRC will provide an excellent opportunity for predoc and postdoc trainees to connect and share research progress. We welcome attendance from basic and physician scientists, industry, and any stakeholder, and we encourage a breath of diversity of meeting participants across gender, cultural and ethnic backgrounds, geographical locations, and age groups that will facilitate a broad and enriched communication of the scientific content.

Elizabeth Bradbury (King's College London) and Martin Kerschensteiner (Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich) will deliver keynote lectures.
