Becker Lab

Our research contributes to a better understanding of the factors governing regenerative neurogenesis and axonal pathfinding in spinal cord regeneration. We are using the zebrafish model to identify fundamental mechanisms in vertebrates with clear translational implications for CNS injury and neurodegenerative diseases.
