As a clinician, Dr. Ivar Mendez is pioneering the use of robotics in neurosurgery. As a researcher, Dr. Mendez is breaking new ground in the field of neurotransplantation. At Canada’s only Cell Restoration Laboratory, Dr. Mendez is working to answer questions posed by neural transplantation teams around the world - where to transplant the cells, how to improve their survival, how to transplant the cells without damaging the brain and, most
recently, which other types and sources of cells may offer even greater possibilities for neural transplantation and with fewer disadvantages.
As one of the founders of the Brain Repair Centre, Dr. Mendez has gathered a stellar mix of researchers and physicians all working towards treatments and innovative solutions to diseases and injuries of the brain and spinal cord.
