CLEMSON UIVERSITY’S NING ZHANG WILL USE THIS GRANT TO DEVELOP A STEM CELL ENGINEEING STRATEGY THAT PROMOTES SELF-REPAIR IN THE BRAINS OF STROKE PATIENTS.

ZHANG MADE HEADLINES IN 2009 WHEN HER RESEARCH ON RATS INJECTED WITH A SPECIALITY FORMULATED “HYDROGEL”SUGGESTED THAT THE GEL COULD SPUR RECOVERY AND GROWTH Of sTEM CELLS IN THE BRAIN. THERAPEUTIC POTENTIAL OF A REGENERATIVE TREATMENT SUCH AS THIS IS INCREDIBLE EXCITING TREATMENTS FOR BRAIN INJURIES IN A CLINICAL SETTING.
