Support Dr. Zheng’s Lab — Pioneering Neural Repair at UC San Diego

Your gift will fuel transformative neuroscience research led by Dr. Binhai Zheng, Professor of Neurosciences at UC San Diego. His lab explores why the brain and spinal cord struggle to regenerate after injury — with a focus on the cellular and molecular mechanisms behind axon repair in the central nervous system.

Why Your Support Matters

Dr. Zheng’s team uses cutting-edge genetic mouse models to uncover why neuronal axons fail to rebuild after injury — and how to trigger regeneration. This knowledge plays a critical role in developing therapies for spinal cord injuries, white matter stroke, and neurodegenerative diseases.

Track Record: Over 89 publications and 13,000+ citations—proof of global research impact
