- Associate Professor of Neurological Surgery and Orthopaedic Surgery
Dr. Ganju collaborates with CRN members in the investigation and development of therapies to treat spinal cord injury. The short-term goal is to understand which combination of biological signals and supramolecular motion within peptide amphiphile nanofibers results in the desired cellular response and maximizes functional recovery in a mouse model of spinal cord injury. The long-term goal is to apply these findings toward a therapy that can benefit human patients.
