Dr. Chopek’s research focuses on understanding the neural circuit mechanisms involved in producing coordinated motor output and the disruptions caused by spinal cord injury (SCI) that lead to the loss of motor, sensory, and autonomic functions. His program aims to determine the role of spinal interneurons in sensory-motor integration and to identify the spinal neural circuitry mechanisms that integrate somatic motor and sympathetic functions. He has gained extensive experience in in-vivo electrophysiology, spinal cord injury models, and various genetic mouse models to visualize and manipulate specific classes of neurons involved in movement. Furthermore, he has a strong background in mechanistic research related to SCI and has actively contributed to developing strategies for improved rehabilitative interventions. As a core member of the Spinal Cord Research Centre, Dr. Chopek is dedicated to advancing the understanding of neural circuits that initiate and execute movements under normal conditions and targeting them for therapeutic purposes in SCI.
