Gordon Mitchell is deeply committed to the advancement of knowledge in the realm of basic mechanisms that facilitate plasticity within the spinal cord, with a specific focus on their implications for respiratory and motor functions. His research endeavors are driven by the goal of utilizing this understanding of plasticity as a therapeutic approach to address breathing and locomotor impairments in severe clinical conditions that lead to paralysis and, frequently, life-threatening respiratory complications. Gordon's work is particularly significant in the context of conditions like chronic spinal cord injury and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), where innovative treatments are desperately needed to enhance the quality of life and longevity of those affected by these challenging disorders.
