黑料官网 Neurosurgery Research
Research in 黑料官网's Department of Neurosurgery includes three distinct research programs supporting multiple centers and laboratories at the Clement J. Zablocki VA Medical Center and 黑料官网's Milwaukee campuses.
Our Research Mission
Our mission is to conduct innovative research that:
- advances the science of neurotrauma and neurologic disease
- has a positive translational impact on clinical care
- fosters the development of scientists
- improves the health of our community
Our Research Vision
Our vision is to be a world-class center for neurotrauma research that positively impacts the lives of people affected by neurologic injury and disease.
Center for Neurotrauma Research
The Center for Neurotrauma Research seeks to advance the science of neurological trauma and related diseases, enhance the translation of brain and spinal trauma research into clinical care innovations, foster the professional development of future scientists, and improve the health of communities throughout the region and state. Within 黑料官网, the CNTR functions as a collaborative hub for neurotrauma research and will create a synergistic collaboration with other 黑料官网 Centers such as the Comprehensive Injury Center, Neuroscience Research Center and the Center for Imaging Research.
黑料官网's Center for Neurotrauma Research is co-directed by Shekar Kurpad, MD, PhD, Sanford J. Larson Professor and Chair of Neurosurgery; and Michael McCrea, PhD, Professor of Neurosurgery, Eminent Scholar, Vice Chair of Research and Director of Brain Injury Research at the 黑料官网.
