Congratulations to Liqi Shu for receiving the prestigious two-year Patterson Trust Mentored Research Award for his project titled “Decoding Stroke Motor Outcomes with Structural Neuroimaging.” The award, supported by the Robert E. Leet and Clara Guthrie Patterson Trust, will fund Liqi’s research which aims to further understanding of stroke motor outcomes and potential treatments.
Principle Investigator of LTNr, David Lin, will be among the guest editors for a new special issue on Modeling in Neurorehabilitation organized by IEEE TNSRE https://lnkd.in/eQ2Vf6B6. This special issue stems from the discussions and insights from the NSF DARE conference last year https://lnkd.in/eWZBC_4U. If your work aligns with this topic, we invite you to contribute …
Thrilled to share our latest publication in Annals of Neurology! First author, Julie DiCarlo, MS, explores differences between performance-rated & patient-reported outcomes in stroke survivors with arm impairments. Key findings: · PROMs are distinct from performance measures. · Sociodemographics (education, income) shape PROMs. · Parietal lobe & salience network injuries impact PROMs, while CST damage drives performance impairments. Understanding these …
We are pleased to announce that Caroline Lambert has joined the Laboratory for Translational Neurorecovery as a Clinical Research Coordinator! Caroline holds a BA in Public Health and Psychology from Wheaton College, Massachusetts. Her expertise and background will be invaluable to our research efforts, particularly in advancing the study of upper limb motor function following …
Dr. Liqi Shu has been awarded the NIH StrokeNet fellowship for the 2024-2025 academic year. This fellowship will supports his research on improving prognostic accuracy for stroke patients by integrating neuroanatomical injury data with functional movement analysis. His innovative work aims to enhance patient outcomes and rehabilitation strategies
The Laboratory for Translational Neurorecovery is honored to welcome Alkis Hadjiosif to our team! Alkis is a T32 research fellow, who prior to joining the lab, obtained a PhD in Bioengineering from Harvard University, has been a research fellow at Johns Hopkins University, and a research associate at Harvard University. His research uses a combination …
Congratulations to Richard Hardstone, MEng, Ph.D. on receiving a MGH ECOR Fund for Medical Discovery Clinical Research Fellowship Award for his project, “Establishing real-time, mechanistic biomarkers of vagus nerve stimulation for stroke motor rehabilitation.”
Our recent publication in Neurology details an innovative method that directly correlates brain regions with patterns of paralysis in patients follow their strokes. These finding could offer patients a pathway for enhanced rehabilitation. Leveraging his expertise as the Director of the Neurorecovery Clinic at Massachusetts General Hospital, Dr. David Lin’s work through the Stroke …
