Neuroscience Research
With collective research and clinical strengths in stroke, brain injury, sleep disorders, neurodegenerative disease and more, Henry Ford + MSU researchers and clinicians are working to enhance and advance their joint neuroscience research ecosystem.
Neuroscience Planning Committee
The Neuroscience Planning Committee is implementing activities to catalyze new, cross-institutional connections and will be developing a competitive seed funding program to support joint research projects. Members include:
- Henry Ford Health
- Ellen Air, M.D., Ph.D.
- Michael Chopp, Ph.D.
- Shailendra Giri, Ph.D.
- Brian Ahmedani, Ph.D.
- Michigan State University
- Caryl Sortwell, Ph.D.
- Michelle Mazei-Robison, Ph.D.
- John Goudreau, D.O., Ph.D.
- Nichole VanElls, D.N.P.
The topic clusters below, championed by Henry Ford and MSU co-leads, will explore opportunities for joint research projects, large grant mechanisms, and gaps in expertise where a lynchpin faculty recruitment could better connect and support the neuroscience community.
- Addiction (Led by Amy Loree, Ph.D. and Michelle Mazei-Robison, Ph.D.)
- Degeneration (Led by Shailendra Giri, Ph.D. and Caryl Sortwell, Ph.D.)
- Neurodevelopment Disorders (Led by Jaspreet Singh, Ph.D. and Lucas Pozzo-Miller, Ph.D.)
- Neuro-imaging (Led by Tavarekere Nagaraja, Ph.D. and Erik Shapiro, Ph.D.)
- Neuroinflammation (Led by Ahmad Riad Ramadan, M.D. and Geoffroy Laumet, Ph.D.)
- Neuropsychiatric Disorders (Led by Lisa Matero, Ph.D. and Alex Johnson, Ph.D.)
- Neurovascular Science (Led by Michael Chopp, Ph.D. and Chunqi Qian, Ph.D.)
- Sleep & Arousal (Led by Abdullah Ahmad, Ph.D. and Lily Yan, Ph.D.)
