The NRP Public Research Forum
NRP Lead Investigators met at the University of Western Australia's Bayliss Building on Monday 28th November 2011 to showcase their current research to the community. An enthusiastic audience enjoyed 12 short, lay-friendly presentations on current basic and clinical research in traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury and stroke. Researchers outlined current research initiatives, shared their recent findings and discussed the exciting clinical potential of these activities.
Below are video recordings of the sessions along with recordings of the slides provided by Lectopia.
