Leaders in spinal research for 40 years
Over the last 40 years our research has helped to deliver major advances in our understanding of spinal cord biology. These advances have allowed scientists to understand more about how the spinal cord responds to an injury, and what is needed to fix it.
Our most recently funded projects include clinical studies for the restoration of hand and arm function, improvements to help with bladder and bowel control and the reduction of debilitating nerve pain. Improvements in any of these areas will have a huge impact on the everyday independence, spontaneity and quality of life for people living with paralysis.
With numerous trials taking place around the world producing promising results, we are now seeing the first generation of therapies which will deliver functional recovery for those suffering a spinal cord injury.
