Veselina Petrova University positionPhD student DepartmentsDepartment of Clinical Neurosciences InstitutesCambridge Centre for Brain Repair Research ThemesInterestsMy research focuses on restoring the intrinsic ability of adult CNS neurons to regenerate after spinal cord injury. In particular, I work on advancing the axonal transport of molecules, key to the regenerative process such as integrins. Research Focus
