Sharing our progress in clinical research in spinal cord injury.
PRO-SCI reports on the most current research from Dr. Yarar-Fisher’s laboratory and shares the latest blogs written by researchers and people with lived experience for people with spinal cord injury.
We want to promote impactful science.
By promoting scientific transparency and prohibiting misinformation, we help the community tell the difference between a promising result and a promise. Every study we support publishes its methods, its data, and its limits.
Three research areas that shape every project
More about the labTherapeutic diets
From ketogenic regimens in acute injury to low-carbohydrate/high-protein diets in chronic SCI — testing how nutrition can improve neurorecovery, insulin sensitivity, and metabolic health.
NMES and TSS
Evaluating whether neuromuscular electrical stimulation can help maintain skeletal muscle size and fiber composition, and transcutaneous spinal stimulation can improve upper extremity function.
The gut microbiome
Understanding how SCI reshapes gut microbiome composition — and identifying targets like diet, probiotics, and prebiotics to prevent secondary health complications.
