Center For Neuroscience And Neurological Recovery A team of physician-scientists at the Center for Neuroscience and Neurological Recovery at Methodist Rehabilitation Center translate basic neuroscience research into useful therapies that benefit patients suffering from neurological illnesses and injuries.
By building on the hospital’s reputation and strong commitment to research, this team is able to quickly move research findings from the laboratory to the patient’s bedside, thus bridging the gap between biomedical discoveries and their clinical application.
In a short period of time, CNNR researchers have had their work published in some of the most prestigious journals and secured more than $6.5 million in funding for their projects from federal agencies, pharmaceutical and medical equipment industry grants, state organizations, the Wilson Research Foundation, other private foundations and the hospital itself.
Their accomplishments include:
- Publishing over 140 peer-reviewed research articles or book chapters.
- Making over 250 presentations at national and international conferences.
- Collaborating with scientists around the world.
- Being one of 16 centers designated a Traumatic Brain Injury Model System site in 2003, and one of 17 in 1988
- Garnering international recognition for being the first to report a link between West Nile virus and a polio-like form of paralysis.
