Neuroimplants
Novel treatments for Central Nervous System Injuries consisting of potent Stem Cells inside bioactive ​biomaterials
Η-Neuroimplants
Funded by a prestigious EIC Pre-accelerator grant, the ongoing H-Neuroimplants project focuses on developing GMP-compatible Neuroimplants and evaluating them in preclinical models of chronic SCI, making solid progress towards Neuroimplants' clinical translation.
