Center for Brain Injury Recovery & Discovery

NTRIPS

CBIRD's flagship seminar series convenes researchers to share and workshop current projects in brain injury, spinal cord injury, neurodegenerative disease, and related topics.

NeuroTrauma Research In Progress Seminars (NTRIPS) bring together basic and clinical biological scientists, engineering and data analytics researchers, and psychologists and neuroimagers. By sharing current and unpublished research projects, scientists can find partners, advance their ideas, and brainstorm new ideas. NTRIPS is co-sponsored by the Center for Brain & Spinal Cord Repair.
