Simone Di Giovanni on regrowing nerves | Conversations with researchers

This year, Spinal Research held the Annual Network Meeting.
Over a hundred researchers from across the globe came together to present their work, share ideas and spark new collaborations.
We got the chance to interview a few fantastic researchers and hear about their work and their hopes for the future of spinal cord injury.
Simone Di Giovanni holds a Chair in Restorative Neuroscience at Imperial College, where his research group investigates the molecular signalling and transcriptional mechanisms that control axonal sprouting and regeneration. Simone also holds an honorary post within the NHS as a consultant in Neurology. Previously, since 2006, he worked at the University of Tuebingen, Germany as a Research Group Leader, where he was also a consultant clinician in Stroke and General Neurology. Simone did his post-doctoral training in Neuroscience studying gene expression regulation after spinal cord injury at Georgetown University, Washington DC, 2001-2004 where he became research Instructor (2004-2006). He studied Medicine at La Sapienza University and did his Neurology training at Catholic University, Rome, Italy.
