Pediatric Muscle Physiology Lab
We study muscle stem cells in impaired musculoskeletal growth and muscle metabolism in children with cerebral palsy.
Lab
Translational Cancer Rehabilitation Lab
Our lab studies the physiologic mechanisms that lead to change in physical or cognitive function for patients with cancer. In particular, we are currently focused on cachexia syndrome, a muscle wasting disorder that affects a majority of patients with cancer, along with many other chronic disease.
Lab
Limb Motor Control Lab
We are working to understand the nature of the somatosensory and motor signals within the brain that control our movements.
Lab
Translational Cell Therapy Lab
Studying the relationship between adult stem/progenitor cell dysfunction and age-related degeneration.
Lab
Parkinson's and Movement Disorders Lab
Our lab interests lie in early detection, intervention, and prevention, including non-pharmacological strategies such as physical and cognitive exercise, for both non-motor and motor symptoms and across all disease stages of Parkinson's Disease.
Lab
Neuromodulation & Motor Control Lab
Over the last several years, we have been developing protocols to enhance the activity of residual sensorimotor pathways in individuals who suffered from spinal cord injury (SCI). We are happy to communicate that we are starting Phase IV of our protocol and we are actively enrolling participants. Led by P.I. Monica Perez
Lab
Assistive & Rehabilitation Robotics Lab
We incorporate robotics autonomy and intelligence into assistive machines to support people with motor impairments.
