The Miami Project to Cure Paralysis
The Miami Project to Cure Paralysis, a Center of Excellence at the University of Miami Leonard M. Miller School of Medicine, is considered one of the premier research programs conducting cutting-edge discovery, translational, and clinical investigations targeting traumatic spinal cord injury, brain injury, and other neurological disorders. The Miami Project’s international team of over 175 scientists, clinicians, students, and support staff is dedicated to improving the quality of life and, ultimately, finding a cure for paralysis. Miami Project researchers are currently conducting clinical studies and trials in spinal cord injury, including testing neuroprotective strategies, cellular therapies using Schwann cell and stem cell transplantation, and advanced rehabilitation and neuromodulation approaches including the use of brain machine interface technologies. Other areas of current research include drug discovery for axonal regeneration and immune modulation, neuropathic pain, male fertility and cardiovascular disorders.
