Martin Oudega Biography :

Martin Oudega, Ph.D., is a research scientist for the International Center for Spinal Cord Injury at Kennedy Krieger Institute. He is also a volunteer assistant professor with the Miami Project to Cure Paralysis.

Biographical Sketch:

Dr. Oudega received his Masters degree in Medical Biology from the Free University in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, in 1984. In 1990, He earned a Ph.D. in the same subject from the Unversity of Leiden, in Leiden, The Netherlands, where he was also a Scientific Assistant in Department of Neurosurgery. He started his post-doctoral training with a fellowship at the University of California at San Diego in the Department of Biology andcontinued as a post-doctoral associate at the Miami Project to Cure Paralysis, University of Miami School of Medicine in Miami, Fl., which he completed in 1999. From 2000 to 2005, Dr. Oudega was an instructor, a research assistant professor, and an assistant professor with the Miami Project to Cure Paralysis. He also founded and co-directed the Project’s Viral Vector Core. He remains a voluntary assistant professor there. In 2005, Dr. Oudega joined the faculty at Kennedy Krieger Institute as a research scientist in the International Center for Spinal Cord Injury. Dr. Oudega is a member of the American Society of Gene Therapy, the American Society for Neural Transplantation and Repair, and the Society of Neuroscience.

Research Summary:

Dr. Oudega’s research focuses on repair of the spinal cord using cellular implantation strategies. To obtain axonal regeneration and effectively restore motor function, cell implantation needs to be combined with additional interventions. Dr. Oudega’s main fields of interests are the role of trophic factors in central nervous system regeneration; the regenerative capacity of chronically injured adult central nervous system; the role of myelin and myelination in axonal growth into Schwann cell implants; and biomaterials in spinal cord regeneration and drug delivery.
