American Society for Neural Therapy and Repair - ASNTR

The ASNTR is a society composed of basic and clinical neuroscientists who utilize a variety of technologies to better understand the way the nervous system functions and establish new procedures for its repair in response to trauma or neurodegenerative disease. In this regard, member scientists employ stem/neural cell transplantation, gene therapy, trophic factor and neuroprotective compound administration, and other approaches.

In 1994, the ASNTR was first conceived in an effort to provide an interactive forum for scientists to discuss their data and important issues in the areas of translational neuroscience, neural transplantation, nervous system regeneration, and plasticity. The ASNTR is currently composed of over 250 members, primarily from academia and industry. As a society, this group was formed to provide leadership in the area of education with an emphasis on training and education of young investigators. Also, the ASNTR can provide input to the national scientific infrastructure. To satisfy these goals, a Council of Officers was elected by the membership and most members serve on committees. The membership of ASNTR is open to scientists from all countries. The ASNTR is a non-profit organization supported by its members and by donations.
