Exploring Brain And Spinal Injury Recovery With Neuroscientist Joshua Burda Ph.D.
Description
Joshua Burda Ph.D. joins the podcast to discuss how cells in the brain regulate response to injury and disease. As an Assistant Professor in the Department of Neurology at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Joshua applies his knowledge as a biomedical neuroscientist to uncover new treatment paths for patients with neurological disabilities.
Joshua is interested in the functional recovery of neurological injuries, and his research reflects this. Over the course of his professional career, he has been published in multiple peer-reviewed scientific journals – including Nature, Neuron, and in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science.
Jump into the conversation to hear Joshua talk about:
- How spinal cord injury inhibits people’s ability to live independent lives.
- The primary methods by which spinal cord injuries occur.
- How inflammation impacts brain and spinal cord injuries, and the importance of immune system response to traumatic events.
- The importance of maintaining a healthy cellular waste removal system.
Neurological diseases and injuries are among the hardest for scientists to understand and treat. Fortunately, professionals like Joshua are leading the charge toward a future of neuroscientific innovation!
