Research summary

Riyi Shi's research focuses on how the nervous system is damaged after injuries such as spinal cord injury and traumatic brain injury (including blast-related trauma), with particular attention to a toxic molecule called acrolein and related reactive aldehydes that form after injury and harm nerve cells. The lab also studies oxidative stress and iron overload effects on tissues (including the brain, kidney, colon, and olfactory system), and explores potential therapies to reduce this damage and promote nerve repair. This work is aimed at understanding injury mechanisms and identifying treatments for conditions like spinal cord injury, brain trauma, and related neurodegenerative or inflammatory processes.
