Clinical Research

"It is often said that Christopher put a human face on the devastating problems of spinal cord injury. But even more than that, he put a human face on the image of a cure, and made sure that all of us kept that vision in front of us at all times."- Os Steward, Director, Reeve-Irvine Research Center (Spinal Connections No. 8, Fall 2004)
