Reeve-Irvine Research Center Details
Based at the University of California, Irvine, RIRC labs are equipped and staffed to allow cutting edge research at multiple levels ranging from stem cells to robotic retraining to promote functional recovery. RIRC scientists were amongst the first to test the potential of stem cells for spinal cord injury therapy, and research by RIRC scientists formed the basis for the first two clinical trials testing stem cell therapies in people with spinal cord injuries.The mission of the RIRC is to find new treatments for spinal cord injury through collaborative research and educational efforts of prominent scientists and clinicians both at the University of California, Irvine and around the world.Stem Cell training grants, Postdoctoral Fellowships, and Traineeships are available through individual laboratories at the RIRC. For information on Graduate Training at the RIRC please visit the Interdepartmental Neuroscience Program.Our basic science research facility is devoted to studying cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the nervous system's response to injury, exploring innate and therapeutic regeneration, and developing treatments for Spinal Cord Injury.
