At the Maimon Lab, we harness the creativity of science and engineering to reprogram the brain for regeneration. By awakening dormant endogenous neural stem cells and unleashing their suppressed regenerative potential, we aim to transform neurodegenerative diseases such as Huntington’s Disease and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis into treatable conditions, while mentoring the next generation of engineer-neurobiologists who see science as both a craft and a calling.
