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 Kjaerby Laboratory - Division of Sleep-Arousal State Transitions
Focuses on neuromodulator systems and their impact on sleep micro-architecture and restoration.
