Neurosurgeon Jocelyne Bloch, MD, and neuroscientist Grégoire Courtine, PhD, co-direct their lab, NeuroRestore, and are working to use artificial intelligence-driven implants to help spinal cord injury patients. They began working together in 2012.
In 2020, their implant helped a man who severed his spinal cord in an accident stand and walk with support for as long as two hours, according to a Feb. 11 report from The Post. Now they’re hoping to increase access to their therapies through Onward Medical, a company the pair co-founded.
The duo was previously included on Time’s 2024 100 Most Influential People list.
At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
