The Center for Neural Injury and Recovery (CNIR) at Georgetown
University promotes research in areas related to central nervous system injury
and recovery, neural degeneration and nervous system plasticity. The CNIR has
a focus on the pathobiology and treatment of neural
trauma, stroke and Alzheimer's
disease.The mission of the Center for Neural Injury and Recovery is to:
- Enhance basic research
on the fundamental mechanisms of injury and recovery through collaborative
research efforts.
- Develop novel and effective
therapies for acute and chronic nervous system injuries.
- Facilitate interactions
between basic scientists and clinicians.
- Develop training programs
for young scientists who will carry on research in neural injury and recovery
in the future.
- Work towards the development
of a Comprehensive Care Center for Neural Injury at Georgetown University.
