DR. KIM ANDERSON-ERISMAN JOINS THE MIAMI PROJECT AS THE NEW DIRECTOR OF EDUCATION


Kim AndersonThe Miami Project is proud to welcome Kim Anderson-Erisman, Ph.D., as our new Director of Education. Prior to joining our team, Dr. Anderson-Erisman was an Assistant Professor in the Department of Neurological Surgery at the University of California, Irvine and a core faculty member of the Reeve-Irvine Research Center. Her previous research has focused on translational investigations and bridging the gap between basic science, clinical science, and the public community living with spinal cord injury (SCI). Her training spans the spectrum of SCI research, from cellular and molecular studies as a graduate student, to whole animal and behavioral studies as a post-doctoral fellow, to human clinical research as a faculty member. This breadth of knowledge will be a great attribute in her new role as the scientific interface to the public for the diverse array of cutting-edge research being conducted at The Miami Project.
