Dr. Monica Siegenthaler lauded for her work in age-associated myelin pathogenesis and exercise attenuating functional deficits following spinal cord injury.
IRVINE, Calif. (May 24, 2010)
CSC Scientist and External Collaborations Coordinator Dr. Monica Siegenthaler was recently lauded for her work in age-associated myelin pathogenesis and exercise attenuating functional deficits following spinal cord injury at an award ceremony held at University of California, Irvine.
Dr. Oswald Stewart, Director of the UCI Reeve-Irvine Research Center, made the presentation on behalf of Dr. Lloyd Guth to Dr. Siegenthaler, where she was invited to present her research at a special colloquium. Dr. Oswald specifically recognized her ground-breaking publications, “Myelin Pathogenesis and Functional Deficits Following SCI are Age-Associated” and “Voluntary Running Attenuates Age-Associated Deficits following SCI” as seminal in developing understanding of the relationships between age, exercise and performance in spinal cord injured patients.
Dr. Siegenthaler completed her Ph.D. at the Reeve-Irvine Center in 2008.
Nominations for The Lloyd Guth Award for Excellence in Graduate Research in Spinal Injury are invited annually, with final judging of the candidates and award recipients by spinal cord injury research pioneer Dr. Lloyd Guth. The award also includes a stipend for travel to attend scientific meetings.
