The purpose of the site is to explore and develop global plans to aid in the fight for a cure for paralysis. This is a site that aims to go beyond politics, beyond national boundaries and cultures – a site whose task in hand is to support all viable and promising research leading to clinical trials and ultimately to a cure. Wherever you are in the world, and whether you have a spinal cord injury or are a family member or caregiver, this is your site. You are invited to take part in it in whatever way you can. Join our mailing list and/or contribute to our forum and let’s see what we can make happen.
In 1985, Barth A. Green, M.D. and NFL Hall of Fame linebacker Nick Buoniconti helped found The Miami Project to Cure Paralysis after Nick’s son, Marc, sustained a spinal cord injury during a college football game. Since then, The Miami Project has become the world’s largest, most comprehensive spinal cord injury research center.
The Miami Project has assembled a broad spectrum of researchers, clinicians, and therapists whose expertise relate directly to the problem of SCI and whose full-time focus is SCI research.
By uniting this broad range of knowledge and talents, the Miami Project team of scientists is accelerating the search for effective treatments for SCI.
This site states the facts about adult and embryonic stem cells.
Paralysis along with heart disease, diabetes, stroke, even Alzheimer\'s and Parkinson\'s diseases show astonishing potential for reversal through the aid of stem cells.
