Understanding spinal cord function and repair across scales

Our team investigates the biology and pathophysiology of the spinal cord, from the neuromuscular junction to spinal motor circuits.
We study the mechanisms underlying neurodegeneration and neural plasticity, with a particular focus on motor neuron function and excitability

Our research also explores strategies to promote neural repair after injury, including the modulation of the spinal microenvironment and the enhancement of neurite growth.
Building on recent work, we are developing new research directions focusing on the role of glial cells in spinal cord injury and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

Located within a highly collaborative environment, we combine expertise in electrophysiology, advanced imaging, and behavioral analysis to better understand spinal cord function and recovery.
