OUR MISSION
The mission of the Lybrand lab is to develop cellular and molecular based strategies to regenerate functional brain tissue following neural trauma. Specifically, we are interested in using stem cell technology to better understand novel mechanisms of neuro regeneration and build neural circuits to be regrown and reconnected.
OVERVIEW OF OUR RESEARCH
Neurotrauma ultimately leads to changes in neurosensory, brain function and tissue damage. The Lybrand lab uses a multidisciplinary approach to understand how multimodal forces leads to changes in the neurobiology of the brain. This includes:
Integrated biofidelic tissues systems
neurosensory systems of injury
stem cell biology
computation neuroscience
tissue engineering
