معرفی
Cédric G. Geoffroy is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Neuroscience & Experimental Therapeutics at Texas A&M University. His research focuses on understanding molecular, cellular, and physiological changes after neurotrauma, particularly spinal cord injury (SCI), and developing strategies to mitigate health complications such as metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular issues, and bowel dysfunction. He investigates age-dependent axon regeneration barriers and explores novel drug/gene delivery methods for neurorehabilitation.
