Winifred MastBurke Burke Foundation

Grant to the Winifred masterson Burke medical research institute. The winfred masterson Burke medical research institute is an important engine for Burke's quest to deliver the best rehabilitation strategies not only for today but also for tomorrow. The institute was created in 1978 to foster the development of new approaches to cognitive and motor rehabilitiation, and has enjoyed a long standing synergy with the weill medical college of cornell university. Since its inception, the breadth and depth of research going on at Burke has dramatically expanded. The current research on molecules that are critical for brain repair and plasticity are coupled with drug discoveries, novel cell transplantation approaches, human bio-markers, non-evasive brain stimulation trials in humans and robotics are providing an exciting new base of knowledge on which the rehabilitation therapies of tomorrow for stroke, spinal cord, and traumatic brain injury will be built.
