About
The main focus of the laboratory is to better understand the molecular, cellular and physiological changes occurring after neurotrauma, in particular after spinal cord injury (SCI). Indeed, SCI is a major cause of paralysis, following close behind stroke. But besides the direct locomotor impairments, SCI also leads to numerous health complications, including metabolic syndrome, respiratory, cardiovascular, and cognitive problems. These health complications not only threaten patients' lives but also impact their quality of life. Therefore, one major aim in the lab is to better understand the physiopathology of the SCI and health complications occurring after chronic SCI (in mouse models of SCI). Using genetic and pharmacological approaches, we aim at finding targets that can reduce the incidence of these health issues as well as reverse them in more chronic models. The second goal of the lab is to understand how age impacts SCI. Indeed, SCI increasingly afflicts the middle-aged populati
