Research Interests:
Dr. Grande co-directs the Earl Grande, Vel, V. Richard Zarling Stroke, Stem Cell and Neuroimaging Laboratory at the University of Minnesota. His research interest is focused translating stem cell therapies for stroke from the "bench to the bedside." Ongoing studies include exogenous cord blood stem cell transplantation for neuroprotection, reprogramming of reactive astrocytes to form neurons, and characterization of normal adult neural stem cells found in the brains of humans and other large animals.
