 gang He\, PhD\, BM\n\nProfessor of Neurology and Ophthalmology\, Boston Ch
 ildren’s Hospital\, Harvard Medical School\, USA\n\nAbstract: Despite the 
 tremendous progresses made following Dr. Aguayo’s pioneering work\, there 
 remains no pro-regenerative treatments in clinical settings after central 
 nervous system (CNS) injuries in adult humans. In my talk\, I will first s
 ummarize our findings on the following areas: the reasons underlying the l
 ack of spontaneous axon regrowth after CNS injuries\, the molecular pathwa
 ys for promoting adult CNS axon regeneration\, and the strategies for enab
 ling functions of regenerated axons in different experimental injury model
 s. I will then discuss our approaches and perspectives on translating expe
 rimental findings into clinical treatments for functional restoration afte
 r CNS injuries.\n\nBio: Zhigang He is Professor of Neurology and Ophthalmo
 logy in Boston Children’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School. He received
  his PhD from the University of Toronto and completed his postdoctoral res
 earch at the University of California\, San Francisco. His group studies a
 xon regeneration\, neural modulation and related sensorimotor circuit mech
 anisms\, with the goal of developing novel CNS neural repair strategies. H
 e was a recipient of the Reeve-Irvine Research Medal in 2019 and a Visiona
 ry Award of the Greenberg END Blindness in 2020. He has the honor of being
  named as a Klingenstein Fellow in Neuroscience\, a John Merck Scholar\, a
  McKnight Scholar and the EJLB fellow. He is a member of the National Acad
 emy of Medicine of US.\n\n\nThis annual lecture honours Dr. Albert Aguayo\
 , OC\, FRCP\, Professor Emeritus founder and former Director of the Centre
  for the Research in Neuroscience at 91Ö±˛Ą. He is a former Pre
 sident of the Society for Neurosciences and the Canadian Association of Ne
 uroscience. Dr. Aguayo also held the positions of Secretary General and Pr
 esident of the International Brain Research Organization ( IBRO) and been 
 a member of many international advisory committees and editorial boards. H
 e holds honorary degrees from the Universities of Lund (Sweden)\, Cordoba 
 ( Argentina) and Queen’s and Dalhousie in Canada. Albert Aguayo’s scientif
 ic contributions concerned the regenerative capacity of the adult mammalia
 n central nervous system\n
