Mark Tuszynski Lab
Center for Neural Repair
Our research aims to identify potential treatments for currently untreatable neurological disorders, including Alzheimer’s Disease and Spinal Cord Injury.
Our ResearchCurrent Projects
Spinal Cord Injury
Our research focuses on augmenting regeneration of the adult spinal cord after injury.
Alzheimer's Disease
We study degenerative changes in the brain of both normal aging and pathological disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease.
Neural Plasticity
We explore the innate ability of the adult brain to undergo structural and functional adaptation as a result of experience.
BDNF Gene Therapy Trial
Our group is sponsoring a first-in-human clinical trial of gene therapy in Alzheimer’s Disease and Mild Cognitive Impairment. This trial has been approved by the FDA and the UC San Diego Human Subjects Safety Committee.
