Stanley Thomas Carmichael, M.D.,Ph.D.

Dr. S. Thomas Carmichael studies brain repair after stroke and other brain injuries, specifically the molecular and cellular processes that limit recovery. With this grant, Dr. Carmichael will leverage a newly developed mouse model of white matter ischemia to characterize the molecular basis of white matter repair, and to study neural function during the ischemic process as well as during repair and recovery. The studies will also examine the effects of age on these processes. This work aims to identify and develop new molecular targets and biomarkers for neural repair and recovery in white matter ischemia, and to understand the neuronal network dysfunction that leads to behavioral deficits in this disease.
