Lukas Matter introduces the Cure Programme’s research underway in Sweden.

CatWalk’s Cure Programme is based at the University of Auckland, but it includes team members and collaborators around the world. Prof. Maria Asplund, Lukas Matter and Gonzalo Leon Gonzalez are Cure Programme researchers based in Sweden.

At Chalmers University, they continue to develop and refine the Cure Programme’s bioelectronic implant, which is helping to restore movement and sensation after spinal cord injury.

Lukas has been working here in Aotearoa for the past six months. ‘It’s easier to solve problems together in real time,’ he says. He’ll also represent the Swedish team members at this week’s “Talk the Walk, The Spinal Cord Injury Symposium”, hosted by CatWalk and Waipapa Taumata Rau/University of Auckland.

Cure Programme researchers hail from around the globe, many choosing to relocate to New Zealand to be a part of this unique multi-disciplinary team, focused specifically on curing spinal cord injury

Together we will cure spinal cord injury.

Lukas Matter explains: How electronic implants could help the body repair itself.
