Dr. Priyanka Patel, postdoctoral researcher in Dr. Twiss’ group, was awarded a grant, "Manipulation of the local translation of Rho GTPases in axons to support axon regeneration", from the Wings for Life International Spinal Cord Research Foundation for $145,200. Her project will aim at changing the intrinsic growth capacity of neurons to encourage axon growth and regeneration after spinal cord injury. Learn more about it here!
