The Hofstetter-Khaing Laboratory

Our laboratory focuses on the spinal cord. In particular, we target systems of the spinal cord that may have a direct positive impact on patient care at the University of Washington Medical center. We have a variety of ongoing projects including:

  • Cutting edge technologies for real time spinal blood flow monitoring
  • Interventions to halt acute hemorrhage after trauma
  • Understanding the role of the immune system in acute spinal cord injury
  • Strategies to restore bladder function after spinal cord injury
