Brain Recovery and Neuroprotection after Cardiac Arrest
We develop and translate regenerative therapeutic strategies, including stem cell-based approaches, metabolic glycoengineering, and extracellular vesicle platforms, to improve neurological recovery following cardiac arrest-induced global cerebral ischemia. Our work integrates mechanistic investigation with preclinical modeling to advance clinically relevant neuroprotective interventions.

Peripheral Nerve Injury and Regeneration
We design and evaluate innovative regenerative strategies, including stem cell therapies, stem cell surface modification, and extracellular vesicle-based approaches, to enhance functional nerve repair after peripheral nerve injury. Our studies combine therapeutic development with mechanistic insights to optimize translational potential.
