PersonalRN
Dr. Steve Cramer is a Professor of Neurology, Anatomy & Neurobiology, and Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation at the University of California, Irvine. He is also the Vice Chair for Research in Neurology, the Clinical Director of the Sue & Bill Gross Stem Cell Research Center, and the Associate Director of the UC Irvine Institute for Clinical & Translational Science. Dr. Cramer did a residency in internal medicine at UCLA, then did a second residency in neurology plus and a fellowship in cerebrovascular disease at Massachusetts General Hospital. He co-edited the book “Brain Repair after Stroke,” is an Assistant Editor at the journal Stroke, is the author of over 200 articles and chapters; and composed one US patent, 1 IDE, and 3 INDs. He has had several dozen grants funded and is currently principal investigator on several, including the NIH grant “Brain plasticity and rehabilitation after stroke.”
His research focuses on brain repair after central nervous system injury in humans, with an emphasis on recovery after stroke. Treatments under examination include robots, stem cells, brain stimulation, growth factors, a monoclonal antibody, telehealth devices, and other approaches. A major emphasis is on translating new drugs and devices to reduce disability after stroke. An important question is how to predict the response of individual patients to such restorative therapies.
A major new effort is the use of emerging technologies to improve patient outcomes. American medicine has made huge advances in recent decades, but the systems by which these are delivered have evolved much more slowly. New approaches are needed to educate, engage, and enable patients and their families. This is the current focus and is the overarching focus of personalRN.
