A Moment With Dalton
Interview With Katie Gant, Ph.D
Our Scientific Director, W. Dalton Dietrich, Ph.D., sits down with a member of our faculty or one of our researchers to hear about the latest scientific efforts at The Miami Project.
Our team of scientists, researchers, clinicians and staff work tirelessly to achieve extraordinary scientific progress in our quest to find a cure for paralysis.
The Miami Project to Cure Paralysis was co-founded by Barth A. Green, M.D., world -renowned neurosurgeon, and Nick Buoniconti, NFL Hall of Fame linebacker after Nick’s son, Marc, sustained a spinal cord injury during a college football game.
Research at The Miami Project has changed the landscape of knowledge and therapeutic strategies for spinal cord injury and traumatic brain injury.
