Our mission is to translates groundbreaking research into clinical treatments that repair the brain and spinal cord to help people walk, speak, see, and remember again. Discovering scientific breakthroughs to restore abilities, can help reduce the sacrifices made by caregivers and renew hope for millions.
"Decoding Stroke" is a new educational video series presented by Susan Wortman-Jutt and brought to you by the researchers, scientists and clinicians at the Burke Neurological Institute.
Faculty and staff of the Burke Neurological Institute (BNI) reunited in-person and remotely to attend a two-day Annual Retreat at the Minerals Resort and Spa at the Crystal Springs Resort.
Stroke affects over 795,000 people in the U.S. alone each year, that is one person every 40 seconds. Dr. Tomoko Kitago, lab director of the Human Motor Recovery Laboratory at the Burke Neurological Institute, talks about stroke awareness, treatments and the importance of clinical trials.
We are very pleased to announce that Dr. David Gould will be joining the Burke Neurological Institute (BNI) as Chief Operating Officer starting in early April.
The research team examined how myeloid cells can also facilitate repair by clearing debris and promoting tissue remodeling during the early stages of repair. The study showed that a transcription factor, hypoxia-inducible factor, which the Ratan lab has been studying for years, marks myeloid cells that are associated with good long term recovery.
