Joe E. Springer
Professor and Vice Chair for Research
Spinal Cord and Brain Injury Research Center
University of Kentucky
United States
Biography
Dr. Springer had completed a F32 funded postdoctoral fellowship in 1988 at the University of Rochester and joined the Department of Neurology at Hahnemann University as an Assistant Professor and was then promoted to Associate Professor with tenure in 1992. During this time, my research focused on events controlling the regulation of neurotrophic factor gene expression in the central nervous system and how this might be related to certain neurodegenerative disorders including Alzheimer’s Disease and ALS. In 1995, I joined the Department of Anatomy and Neurobiology at the University of Kentucky and changed my research focus to the study of secondary injury following spinal cord injury (SCI). I currently hold the position of Vice Chair for Research in the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation where my role is to promote translational research and collaborative opportunities between the University of Kentucky and Cardinal Hill Rehabilitation Hospital. I have served on the editorial board of several journals and have been a member of a number of NIH study sections. My lab was the first to demonstrate and characterize the potential efficacy of riluzole as a treatment for acute SCI. A multi-center clinical trial is currently underway. We then began studies to understand cell death mechanisms and, applying research discoveries from the immune system literature, were able to identify part of the signaling pathways contributing to caspase-3 activation after SCI. We extended our studies to include the role of mitochondria as mediators of cell death signaling as well as a source of free radical production. Our current studies include examination of inhibitors of the mitochondrial permeability transition state and mitochondrial-targeted free radical scavengers as methods to reduce ongoing secondary injury and promote functional recovery.

Miranda Mladinic
Department of Neurology
University of Rijeka
Croatia
Biography
Dr. Miranda Mladinić was born on 12 July 1967, in Zagreb, Croatia. In 1992, He took the B.Sc. in Molecular Biology at the University of Zagreb, Faculty of Natural Science and Math. After short work as a teaching assistant at the Department of Molecular Biology, University of Zagreb (1992-1993), he moved to Trieste, Italy, at the International School for Advanced Studies (SISSA/ISAS) for his PhD studies. After taking the PhD degree in Biophysics in 1997, he continued to work at SISSA, first as a post-doctoral fellow and later as a researcher, studying molecular mechanisms underlying the regeneration and cell death after spinal cord injury. In 2009, he worked as a lecturer at the Biotechnology course of the Medical School, University of Trieste, and in 2012 he have obtained the Professorship at the Department of Biotechnology, University of Rijeka, Croatia.
Stuart M Goldman
Department of Podiatric Medicine
American Board of Podiatric Surgery
United States
Biography
Dr. Goldman graduated from the Pennsylvania College of Podiatric Medicine in 1980 and served his surgical residency in Orlando General Hospital where he then served as Chairman of the Department of Podiatric Surgery. He has studied the foot and leg symptoms of spinal stenosis for 20 years, focusing on both differentiation from other conditions causing lower extremity symptoms, and conservative management of spinal stenosis symptoms. He has published his findings on spinal stenosis in Diabetes, Podiatry, and Family Practice journals, and is involved in ongoing research on this and related subjects. He lives in Baltimore USA with his wife and 5 children.
Stephen M. Onifer
Professor
Spinal Cord and Brain Injury Research Center
University of Kentucky
United States
Biography
Dr, Onifer has a broad expertise in central nervous system injury and repair specifically as it relates to traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI). After completing his American Heart Association fellowship-funded thesis project about functional, embryonic neural cells transplantation for the ischemic brain at Indiana University School of Medicine, he went to The Miami Project to Cure Paralysis at the University of Miami School of Medicine for post-doctoral training. He evaluated the fate of neural progenitor cells following transplantation into the normal and injured brain and spinal cord. Subsequently, he assisted with the development of the second, clinically relevant adult rat model of contusive cervical SCI. After being promoted to Instructor in the Department of Neurological Surgery, he used his foundation grant funding to test hypotheses about functional axonal regeneration following transection thoracic SCI. Upon joining the Departments of Neurosurgery and Anatomical Sciences & Neurobiology at the University of Louisville as an Assistant Professor, he used his NIH/NINDS RO1 grant funding and NIH/NCRR/COBRE project funding to test hypotheses about functional sensory axonal regeneration after laceration cervical SCI. He also was a founding faculty member of the Kentucky Spinal Cord Injury Research Center. As a Research Assistant and Associate Professor in the Spinal Cord & Brain Injury Research Center and Department of Anatomy & Neurobiology at the University of Kentucky College of Medicine, he is using his Kentucky Spinal Cord & Head Injury Research Trust grant funding to further test a hypothesis derived from his previous NIH funding projects. It is that combining chondroitinase ABC administration, to degrade inhibitory chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans and promote sensory axon collateral sprouting, after laceration cervical SCI with forelimb rehabilitation will improve forelimb function recovery. His long-term goal is to translate adaptive plasticity treatments to spinal cord injured persons. As a faculty member, he has been the primary mentor of M.D./Ph.D., graduate, medical, undergraduate, and high school students during their research training. He annually gives presentations about a SCI research career to high school students. He also serves as a volunteer and liaison to a community-based SCI organization. He also reviews neurotrauma-related grants and manuscripts.
