NeuroRestorative Therapy

Organizers: Hiroko Yano, Fumihiko Urano, Albert Kim

Mission

To restore neurological function in patients suffering from diseases that impact the human nervous system through the development of novel multidisciplinary therapeutic strategies.

Strategies

  1. Development and implementation of clinical trials for patients with neurological diseases using regenerative medicine-, cell-, drug-, and virus-based approaches
  2. Development of patient tissue-derived models of human diseases
  3. Understanding disease mechanisms using cell and animal models to translate findings to human diseases

Target disease areas

  • Neurodegenerative diseases, including diseases of the eye
  • Spinal cord injury
  • Brain tumors
  • Neurodevelopmental disorders

Specific neurological diseases of interest include Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Huntington’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Wolfram syndrome, spinal cord injury, and brain tumors (glioblastoma, meningioma, pituitary tumors)
