Research at the Center for Translational Neuromedicine

The Center comprises three principal research groups:

The Goldman Laboratory – Division of Cell and Gene Therapy

Focuses on neural stem and glial progenitor biology, particularly in the context of neurological disease.

The Nedergaard Laboratory – Division of Glial Disease and Therapeutics

Focuses on astrocytic physiology and pathology, as well as on cerebral blood flow and its glial regulation.

The Hirase Laboratory – Division of Neuron-glia Circuitry

Focuses on astrocytic signaling and its impact on neural circuit dynamics and behavioral performance.

The Untiet Laboratory - Division of Astrocyte Driven Ionostasis

Focuses on astrocytic modulation of ions and its impact on brain function and brain states.

The Kaag Rasmussen Laboratory: Division of Pain Volume Transmission
