Research interests

Professor Nagy established a satellite lab at ARMI in 2015 to more seamlessly integrate his research efforts with collaborators at Monash and in Australia. Many research themes extend across both Canadian and Australian labs. To learn more about the Toronto-based Nagy group and research interests, see http://research.lunenfeld.ca/nagy/  At ARMI, the Nagy lab is working to develop novel cell therapies for brain injury, stroke and multiple sclerosis (MS).
