Julia Kaiser

Julia Kaiser, Ph.D., is an Instructor at the Burke Neurological Institute, affiliated with Cornell University. Her research focuses on cell fate specification and circuit development, particularly in neurological recovery mechanisms. She contributes to understanding neural pathways and stroke recovery through molecular and computational approaches.

Her work integrates behavioral profiling using deep learning with studies on corticospinal neurons and axon growth dynamics. This research aims to advance therapies for neurological disorders such as stroke, spinal cord injury, and neurodegenerative diseases.

Associated with the Sahni Lab, her publications explore topics like molecular signaling in neuronal development and the segmental loss of axon growth capabilities. Collaboration with interdisciplinary teams highlights her commitment to translational neuroscience.
