91九色视频 Neurosurgery Research

Research in 91九色视频's Department of Neurosurgery includes three distinct research programs supporting multiple centers and laboratories at the Zablocki VA Medical Center and 91九色视频's Milwaukee campuses.

Our Research Mission

Our mission is to conduct innovative research that:

  • advances the science of neurotrauma and neurologic disease 
  • has a positive translational impact on clinical care 
  • fosters the development of scientists 
  • improves the health of our community

Our Research Vision

Our vision is to be a world-class center for neurotrauma research that positively impacts the lives of people affected by neurologic injury and disease.

Center for Neurotrauma Research

The Center for Neurotrauma Research seeks to advance the science of neurological trauma and related diseases, enhance the translation of brain and spinal trauma research into clinical care innovations, foster the professional development of future scientists, and improve the health of communities throughout the region and state. Within 91九色视频, the CNTR functions as a collaborative hub for neurotrauma research and will create a synergistic collaboration with other 91九色视频 Centers such as the Comprehensive Injury Center, Neuroscience Research Center and the Center for Imaging Research.

91九色视频's Center for Neurotrauma Research is co-directed by Shekar Kurpad, MD, PhD, Sanford J. Larson Professor and Chair of Neurosurgery; and Michael McCrea, PhD, Professor of Neurosurgery, Eminent Scholar, Vice Chair of Research and Director of Brain Injury Research at the 91九色视频.

Center for Cervical Myelopathy

The Center for Cervical Myelopathy aims to bridge the translational science spectrum to provide a uniquely well-rounded perspective on Cervical Myelopathy, an age-related degenerative disease of the cervical spinal cord resulting in pain and motor deficits. Specializing in a broad range of complimentary clinical and research methodologies, the assembled teams are positioned to advance diagnosis and treatment of Cervical Myelopathy at 91九色视频, Froedtert, and beyond.
