معرفی
Edmund R. Hollis II, Ph.D., is an Assistant Professor of Neuroscience at Weill Cornell Medicine and Lab Director of the Circuit Repair Laboratory at Burke Neurological Institute. He holds additional roles as Post-Doctoral Advancement Advisor at Weill Cornell's Office of Postdoctoral Affairs. Dr. Hollis specializes in neural circuit repair, spinal cord injury recovery, and axon regeneration. His research integrates genetic, molecular, and behavioral tools to explore mechanisms of neural plasticity and therapeutic interventions.
- Education: Ph.D. in Neurosciences (UCSD, 2008), B.S. in Biomedical Engineering (USC, 2002).
- Research Focus: Spinal cord injury repair, Wnt signaling pathways, corticospinal circuit plasticity, and translational approaches to motor recovery.
- Collaborations: Partners with institutions like Massachusetts General Hospital, UC San Francisco, and Vulintus, Inc.
His lab investigates astrocyte responses to injury, neuromodulation, and nerve transfer surgery. Key projects include optimizing electrical stimulation for functional rewiring and studying glial signaling in spinal cord repair.
