At Texas A&M, Dulin is using her knowledge of cellular and molecular biology to perfect experimental approaches to repairing and rebuilding the injured spinal cord. In tandem with nearly two dozen graduate and undergraduate students within the Dulin Laboratory, she is working to develop robust cellular- and molecular-based approaches that can improve motor function and reverse pain following spinal cord injury. Her research focuses on stem cell transplantation therapy, including exploratory strategies that replace nerve cells, or neurons, lost either to injury or degenerative diseases with neural stem cells — immature cells capable of regrowing new tissue. Her lab's long-term goal is to generate knowledge that will be applied toward engineering therapeutically-effective human cell transplants.
To date, Dulin's research program has attracted millions in external funding from multiple state, federal and private sources, including the National Institutes of Health, the Craig H. Neilsen Foundation, the TIRR Foundation, the Wings for Life Spinal Cord Research Found
