Speaker
Dr. Shaoping Hou, PhD, is an Associate Professor in the Departments of Pathology & Anatomical Sciences and Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation at the University of Missouri School of Medicine and a faculty investigator in the Dalton Cardiovascular Research Center. His research program centers on understanding and treating autonomic dysfunction following traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI), particularly disorders of lower urinary tract control and cardiovascular regulation, which arise from disrupted supraspinal autonomic pathways. Dr. Hou’s lab employs multidisciplinary approaches—including neuroanatomical, physiological, cellular, and molecular techniques—to elucidate the neuronal circuitry underlying micturition and hemodynamic control in animal models and to develop strategies such as neural progenitor cell transplantation, axon regeneration, cell reprogramming, and rehabilitation to restore autonomic function. His work aims to bridge basic neuroscience discoveries with translational advances toward functional recovery after SCI while mentoring trainees in cutting‑edge research.
