معرفی
Michel Lemay, PhD, holds dual academic roles as an Adjunct Professor in Neurobiology & Anatomy at Drexel University College of Medicine and a Professor in the Department of Engineering at Temple University. His research focuses on spinal cord injury recovery, neural prosthetics, and motor circuitry modulation. He earned his PhD in Biomedical Engineering from Case Western Reserve University and has held faculty positions since 2001, including a move to Temple University in 2013.
Education:
- PhD in Biomedical Engineering - Case Western Reserve University
Research Interests: Dr. Lemay investigates spinal neuronal circuitry for restoring movement post-injury, with emphasis on neural prostheses, spinal microstimulation, and regenerative therapies like neurotrophin treatment and sensorimotor training. His lab uses advanced techniques including biomechanical modeling, multiunit recordings, and in vivo stimulation to study spinal cord dynamics.
Publications Trends: His work spans neuroregeneration (YAP/TAZ signaling), rehabilitation strategies, and neuroprosthetic design. Key themes include axonal regeneration via pharmacology, afferent control of locomotion, and biomechanical modeling of movement.
Labs/Teams: Leads a multidisciplinary lab at Temple University, collaborating on spinal circuitry studies and translational neuroengineering projects.
