Edwards
4
Newly Renovated Laboratory Space
Following a year and a half of extensive renovations, the
Edwards 4 research laboratory was completed in December 2002.
This new on-campus laboratory, the Center for Nervous System
Repair, is devoted to translational neurosurgical projects
in cellular neurosurgery and neurotechnology. |
More
specifically, the laboratory will be bringing together scientists
who are involved in explorations of neural stem cells, neural
regeneration, and applications in the brain, spinal cord,
visual and auditory systems. Upon completion of Edwards 4,
Dr. Jeffrey Macklis from Children's Hospital Boston relocated
his laboratory to this new space and has become director of
the Center. Edwards 4 will also be occupied by Dr. Nayef Al-Rodhan,
Dr. Bob Carter, and Dr. Emad Eskandar. |

| We
are thrilled to let you all know that we've initiated a fund
raising effort to honor someone who has meant a quite deal
to the department, Dr. Robert Ojemann, with a Harvard Professorship. |
As
many of you probably know, Dr. Ojemann has been an important
member of our department, and we feel that this Professorship
will be a lasting tribute to his years of dedicated service,
|
teaching,
and mentorship. If you are interested in participating in
this special project, please contact Heather Colmore in the
Development Office at 617-724-6407. |
