“Spinal Cord Injury, Plasticity and Spinal interneurons"

Research Profile: Michael began research in spinal cord injury during his undergraduate research at the

University of Tasmania. After graduating with Bachelor of Science (Hons), Michael completed his PhD with

Norman Saunders at the University of Melbourne. In 2005, he began postdoctoral training at the

Universities of Melbourne and Florida (with David Howells and Paul Reier, respectively), before accepting a

Institute of Health (R01) in 2012, Michael accepted a position with the Spinal Cord Research Center at

Drexel University to continue his research into spinal cord injury, neuroplasticity and strategies to optimize

repair and lasting functional recovery. Now an Associate Professor, funded by the NIH and research

foundations, Michael is actively pursuing cell therapies and rehabilitative strategies to promote recovery of

breathing after cervical spinal cord injury. http://www.spinalrepair.org/cover-page/
