About the Cullen Lab

Overview

The Cullen Laboratory applies biomedical engineering principles and technologies towards two complementary goals:

  • an improved understanding of the causative mechanisms of neural injury
  • the development of cutting-edge neural tissue engineering-based treatments to promote regeneration and restore function
