Podcasts about brain injury research center

The incidence of spinal cord injury is over 17,000 new cases per year in the United States. The University of Kentucky is home to the Spinal Cord Injury and Research Center which helps develop new treatment methods for those who experience such trauma. This week Dr. Greg talks with acting director John Gensel about the center and his takeaways from a national conference he recently attended on the issue.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (Nov. 26, 2020) – Coming from a large family in Nebraska, Dr. Mark Prendergast grew up with a desire to help others. Prendergast, the Director of the Neuroscience Bachelor of Science degree program in the UK College of Arts & Sciences, has used that desire to find demonstrative ways to increase the number of students of color in the neuroscience field. “We have a longstanding commitment to addressing issues of diversity, inclusivity and equity,” says Prendergast. “And one of our most important missions as faculty and scientists is to train the next generation of scientists and professors. And we have to, absolutely must do that, with diversity, inclusivity and equity in mind.” From 2013-2019, he co-directed a NIH-funded research training program for undergraduate students. The 10-week lab course studied alcohol at different levels of analysis, including cellular, behavioral and social. Prendergast says their mission was to address underrepresented minorities in the program. In 2020, Prendergast began working with Joe Springer, Director of the UK Spinal Cord and Brain Injury Research Center, to develop the African-American Research Training Scholars Program. The program funds up to five 12-month awards for undergraduate students who identify as Black or African-American to work in a laboratory studying spinal cord injury or neuro-trauma. On this episode of Behind the Blue, UKPR’s Carl Nathe talks with Prendergast about developing partnerships across campus, keeping students engaged in programs with work opportunities and mentorships, and more.

In April 1989, Trisha Meili was attacked while jogging in New York's Central Park. The case of the "Central Park Jogger" made headlines and sparked a national conversation about race and the criminal justice system. But behind the media frenzy lay another story—Trisha's. On this episode, Ms. Meili talks about how focusing on the present moment and returning to running helped her bounce back from a traumatic brain injury. And Kristen Dams-O'Connor, PhD, Director of the Brain Injury Research Center of Mount Sinai, offers a scientific perspective on Ms. Meili's injury and gritty recovery.Road to Resilience homepage: https://www.mountsinai.org/about/newsroom/road-resilienceMore about Trisha: http://www.centralparkjogger.com/The Brain Injury Research Center of Mount Sinai: https://icahn.mssm.edu/research/brain-injury

LEXINGTON, Ky. (July 16, 2019) – Regeneration is one of the most enticing areas of biological research. How are some animals able to regrow body parts? Is it possible that humans could do the same? If scientists could unlock the secrets that confer those animals with this remarkable ability, the knowledge could have profound significance in clinical practice down the road.   Scientists at the University of Kentucky have taken this fantasy one step closer to reality, recently announcing that they have assembled the genome of the axolotl, a salamander whose only native habitat is a lake near Mexico City. On this week’s episode of “Behind the Blue,” UKPR’s Amy Timoney talks with Randal Voss, a professor in the UK Spinal Cord and Brain Injury Research Center, and Jeramiah Smith, an associate professor in the UK Department of Biology. Organisms with larger genomes than humans have been largely impossible to map, due to the remarkable computational burden posed, but Voss and Smith adapted a classical genetic approach called linkage mapping to put the axolotl genome together in the correct order quickly and efficiently – the first genome of this size to be assembled to date. As proof of concept, Voss and Smith used the assembled data to rapidly identify a gene that causes a heart defect in an axolotl, thus providing a new model of human disease.
