Dr. Hickey Lab, Department of Pharmacology, Associate Professor in Pharmacology, University of TartuDr Hickey's research interests lie in translational neuroscience: the development of therapeutics for neurodegenerative diseases and in the greater understanding of symptoms and pathology of neurodegenerative diseases.In current research, Dr Hickey is examining peripheral neuropathy in PD and nanoparticle delivery of therapeutics to brain for Alzheimer's disease.

Dr. Lu Lab, Department of Neurosurgery, David Geffen School of Medicine, UCLADr. Lu's Neuroplasticity and Repair Laboratory's goal is to "elucidate the spinal cord circuits relevant for motor and autonomic function" and to "apply this understanding to the development of novel treatments for injury conditions such as spinal cord injury. We conduct basic science research in rodent models and translate these findings to humans in clinical trials."
