REPAIR Research Group

The REPAIR research group employs a novel strategy that harnesses the translational pipeline. We integrate preclinical and clinical evidence-based models of stroke recovery and neuroscience to develop and test interventions that strive to promote best recovery and clinical care. 

We largely use upper limb recovery after stroke as our exemplar; a top 10 global stroke research priority and an identified unmet need by stroke survivors.

Our research seeks to understand the brain-behaviour nexus during recovery after stroke. Using early phase clinical trial designs, we study when is the ideal time to start therapy after stroke and how much therapy should be provided. We also seek to understand who stands to benefit most from therapy. 

We aspire to challenge the status quo in stroke recovery. Our research aims to enable people living with stroke to realise their best recovery.
