Description

Steve Adubato welcomes Steven Kirshblum, MD, Chief Medical Officer of Kessler Foundation, to examine breakthrough research that could improve the quality of life for those living with paralysis and Christopher Reeve’s lasting impact on spinal cord research.

What if the key to spinal cord recovery lies in the legacy of a superhero? In this inspiring episode, Dr. Kirshblum—renowned for treating Christopher Reeve—joins us to explore the revolutionary strides being made in SCI rehabilitation. From the Foundation’s cutting-edge stimulation therapies to NIH-backed clinical trials led by Claudia Angeli, PhD, assistant director of the Tim and Caroline Reynolds Center for Spinal Stimulation, discover how science is restoring movement, independence, and hope to patients once thought beyond recovery.

We also reflect on the enduring influence of Christopher Reeve, whose courage continues to drive innovation and inspire a new generation of researchers.
