Students Summer Research Results in Progress
Eight weeks of intense study and research resulted in interesting progress for twelve students selected to participate in the Keck Center Summer Research Program. Beginning with two weeks of lectures by Dr. Wise Young, the students then attended the Spinal Cord Injury Research Methods Workshop. Next they were divided into four teams to conduct research projects to advance the work of the Center, the results of which were presented at the Summer Open House. A high-point of the Summer Program was attending the Congressional Briefing in Washington, DC.
The four projects were: Gender Hematology of Spinal Cord Trauma, Neuropathic Pain and Microgliosis, Lumbosacral Spinal Cord Injury, and Multi-differentiating Stress-Enduring (MUSE) Cells. Congratulations to the following students for their work in this full-time summer research program: Omar Ashraf, Musdalifa Ayub, Veena Bokka, Nia Carty, Ashwini Chidirala, Meghana Ghattu, Noelle Messina, Shambhavi Metgud, Ameena Rana, Varun Ranpariya, Nehali Thakkar, and Rebekah Wishart. Several of these students will be continuing their research and writing honor theses.
Summer Open House is Big Success
An easy way to sum up the Summer Open House ... a good time was had by all! The Keck Center was packed with science exhibits, vendor displays, and many, many members of the community. We were privileged to hear an excellent presentation by Dr. Paul Lu who shared his exciting research on "Bridging the injured spinal cord with neural stem cells". Also presenting were Marilyn and Bob Hamilton who introduced the Galileo and the principles undergirding its use. Rounding out the program, Dr. Wise Young gave an update on the results of the clinical trials and plans for expansion.
Our sincere appreciation to the Central Jersey Spinal Cord Association for providing the refreshments and to all of the wonderful volunteers who made everything run so smoothly.
Make plans to attend next year's Summer Open House, Thursday, July 21, 2016!
