Showing results for Neuroscience

Doctoral and medical students at IU School of Medicine and Marian University College of Osteopathic Medicine founded IMPACT Indiana, a group centered on health policy and science communication, specifically focusing on Alzheimer’s disease research.

Cristian Lasagna-Reeves, PhD received the prestigious 2024 Rainwater Prize for Innovative Early-Career Scientist. Lasagna-Reeves was presented the award at the Alzheimer’s Association’s Tau2024 Global Conference on March 25, 2024 in Washington, D.C.

A group of Indiana University School of Medicine trainees in the Medical Neuroscience Graduate Program at Stark Neurosciences Research Institute is teaming up with fellow scientists from the Eugene and Marilyn Glick Eye Institute to host a lecture about the science behind solar eclipses and their impact on ocular health.

Ed Rogers came to IU School of Medicine—West Lafayette with extensive experience in brain injury research as co-developer of an innovative technology, TBI-on-a-chip.

Thomas McAllister, MD, co-leads the CARE Consortium concussion study involving 53,000 collegiate athletes and military cadets.

LEADS, led by Liana Apostolova, MD, has received $78 million in National Institute of Aging (NIA) funding since it launched in 2018. It's also the largest National Institutes of Health grant at IU School of Medicine in 2023 at $13.9 million.

Led by Wei Wu, PhD, assistant professor of neurological surgery and a primary member of Stark Neurosciences Research Institute, the researchers discovered a connection between the reprogramming of NG2 glial cells and robust axonal regeneration after spinal cord injury.  

Grants funding Alzheimer's disease, global health and opioid addiction research were among the largest NIH awards to the IU School of Medicine during federal fiscal year 2023.

Three Indiana University School of Medicine researchers each received National Institutes of Health grant funding to study under-explored mechanisms and connections in the brain using animal models. Through their investigations, they hope to discover therapeutic targets to treat health conditions, including obesity, anxiety and alcohol use disorder. The faculty investigators are members of the addiction research interest group at Stark Neurosciences Research Institute.
