Welcome to the Kyritsis Lab, a research group based in the Brain and Spinal Injury Center of the University of California, San Francisco. Our team is dedicated to studying traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) and unraveling the complex molecular mechanisms that occur both locally and systemically in the body. Our ultimate goal is to develop innovative diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers that can improve patient outcomes, and identify potential targets for therapeutic interventions.
SCI can have devastating effects on individuals, causing partial or complete loss of movement and sensation below the level of injury. Despite advances in medical treatment, SCI remains a major challenge in the field of neuroscience. At the Kyritsis Lab, we believe that a deep understanding of the molecular and cellular processes underlying SCI is crucial for developing effective therapies and improving patient outcomes.
Our team at BASIC consists of talented researchers and collaborators from diverse backgrounds, including neuroscience, molecular biology, and data science. By working together, we bring a broad range of expertise to our research and can approach SCI from different angles. Our lab is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and cutting-edge technologies, allowing us to conduct high-quality research and produce impactful results.
We welcome potential collaborators who share our passion for SCI research and are interested in working with us to further our understanding of this complex condition. Please explore our website to learn more about our ongoing projects and publications, and don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or would like to discuss potential collaborations.
