The lab of Arthur Prochazka, whose research focuses on routing electrical current from surface electrodes to deep-lying nerves using implanted conductors. His research mostly focuses on muscle physiology. Current fields of research: * Stimulus Router System: A new family of implanted neuroprostheses. It comprises an implanted lead that picks up some of the current delivered through the skin by a surface stimulator and delivers it to a target nerve via a nerve cuff. The SRS has the advantages of an implanted stimulator: selectivity, reproducibility and convenience, at a fraction of the cost * Bionic Glove: Hand opening and closing stimulator for C5-C6 tetraplegic people. It is based on Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES). * In-home Telerehabilitation: Providing exercise sessions over the internet. * Interactive Receptor Model: An online model explaining muscle spindles and tendon organs. * Spinal Motoneuron Activity During Gait * Robocats: Mathematical models for locomotion. * Rigidity Analyzer: A better means of assessing rigidity. * General Research: Fundamental questions in our field of neurophysiology. * Spinal Cord Microstimulation: Restoring bladder function after spinal cord injury.

http://www.ataxia.org/

Membership supported, nonprofit organization established dedicated to improving the lives of persons affected by ataxia through support, education, and research. The Foundation's primary purpose is to support promising ataxia research and to provide vital programs and services for ataxia families. The Foundation first began direct funding of ataxia research through the NAF Research Seed-Money Program. Since that time, the Foundation has established additional research programs which have included programs such as the NAF Young Investigator Award, the NAF Fellowship Award and other research initiatives. NAF research programs continue to fund promising ataxia research studies throughout the world. The Foundation supports research in dominant ataxia (including SCAs), recessive ataxia (including Friedreich's) and sporadic ataxia. The Foundation has developed an extensive library of NAF brochures, fact sheets, books, and videos on ataxia. Also available to its members is the Foundation's quarterly news publication, Generations. This 48 page ataxia news magazine provides the latest information on ataxia research, articles on living with ataxia, personal accounts from ataxia families throughout the United States, and much more.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVCE, documented September 2, 2016. The mission of the C. elegans Gene Knockout Consortium is to facilitate genetic research of this important model system through the production of deletion alleles at specified gene targets. We choose targets based on investigator requests. Strains produced by the consortium are freely available with no restrictions to any investigator. At one time, our capacity dictated that we restrict requests to five per lab. This restriction no longer holds. Investigators are encouraged especially to register requests for functionally related groups of genes. Consortium strains are distributed by the C. elegans Genetic Center (CGC). In most cases, when you use the Consortium web site to request an existing allele, your request is forwarded automatically to the CGC. However, if you indicate that an existing allele is not satisfactory for your research, (for whatever reason), you may request that we generate another allele for the same target. Any information generated by the Consortium is entered into the official C. elegans data repository, WormBase.

Research and development project at Stanford University to create a standards-based informatics platform supporting clinical and translational research. STRIDE consists of three integrated components: a clinical data warehouse, based on the HL7 Reference Information Model (RIM), containing clinical information on over 1.6 million pediatric and adult patients cared for at Stanford University Medical Center since 1995; an application development framework for building research data management applications on the STRIDE platform and a biospecimen data management system. STRIDE's semantic model uses standardized terminologies, such as SNOMED, RxNorm, ICD and CPT, to represent important biomedical concepts and their relationships. STRIDE receives clinical data for research use via HL7 feeds from both SUMC hospitals: Lucile Packard Children's Hospital and Stanford Hospital and Clinics. This clinical data is used to support a wide variety of translational research services including: * Anonymized Patient Research Cohort Discovery * Electronic Chart Review for Research * IRB-Approved Clinical Data Extraction * Biospecimen Data Management * Multimedia Research * Data Management and Research Registries STRIDE is a highly secure environment utilizing encryption, fine-grained access control, robust auditing and detailed data segregation. Additionally, STRIDE has a robust access control framework with well-defined access granting authorities and access control groups. Consequently STRIDE meets or exceeds the requirements of the HIPAA Privacy and Security regulations. Privacy protection is further enhanced by requiring IRB approval for all research projects using STRIDE clinical data. From a technology and standards perspective, STRIDE is hosted on the Oracle 11g database platform. STRIDE application software provides access to the web services of a three-tier infrastructures using SSL encryption with strong authentication. These programs are cross-platform, self-updating thick-client applications that provides a rich user interface for data entry, retrieval and review as well as image manipulation and annotation. STRIDE makes extensive use of XML technologies for representation of structured meta data, distributed systems technologies using JSON for secure remote communication between client and server, and Swing graphical interface components providing a rich widget-set as well as advanced imaging and graphing capabilities. Users of the STRIDE Research Desktop Client can perform rapid data entry into structured fields, compose complex queries, and interact securely with clinical, research and imaging data.
