Under the leadership of Dr. Joseph Ciacci, UC San Diego Neurosurgery has been involved in a number of clinical trials. In collaboration with the Sanford Stem Cell Consortium, we have cultivated a reputation as a leader in the realm of regenerative medicine as it applies to spinal cord injury therapeutics and in developing large-animal neural transplantation models. Current clinical trials include a first in-human neural stem cell regeneration trial, an acute trauma stem cell trial, and an implanted scaffold for acute spinal cord injury trial.
