2016 – A Definitive YearI am so proud of the incredible accomplishments of The Miami Project. Over the past 31 years we have made remarkable scientific progress in our mission to cure paralysis. When my son Marc became a quadriplegic while making a tackle in a college football game, I truly believed there was no answer to reversing paralysis – where does one begin to solve what has always been impossible. I made Marc a promise that I would do whatever I could to help him. Little did I know from tragedy a miracle would occur – the most comprehensive spinal cord injury research center in the world: The Miami Project to Cure Paralysis.
The Buoniconti family merged with the spinal cord injury community and became ONE with the same goal – curing paralysis. All our love for family came together and built a foundation that is beyond what any of us could have ever imagined.
We are actively underway with our Human Clinical Trials Initiative. We enrolled acutely injured research participants in our Phase 1 Schwann cell safety trial. We successfully transplanted 6 participants who are doing incredibly well with no adverse effects. Trunk sensation has been reported and one participant has converted from complete to incomplete status. The Miami Project is conducting our Chronic Phase 1 Schwann Cell trial and 3 subjects have been successfully transplanted. The results are very encouraging and one participant is using his legs again!
Nerve bridging strategy with Schwann cells has one subject WALKING after severe leg trauma. We also have very encouraging results with stem cell transplantation. The Miami Project researchers are using Deep Brain Stimulation for neuropathic pain and therapeutic hypothermia has resulted in dramatic signs of improved function. Our male fertility program continues to expand with many beautiful babies being born in the SCI Community and the list of accomplishments goes on and on.
We are now in the process of building the state of the art Christine E. Lynn Rehabilitation Center for The Miami Project to Cure Paralysis at UHealth/Jackson. SCI and brain trauma patients from all over the world will be able to benefit from the most cutting edge and various rehabilitation and clinical research programs – a truly definitive year!
I want to THANK YOU ALL – The Buoniconti Fund’s Board of Directors, the Great Sports Legends, Honorees, Dinner attendees and University of Miami President Dr. Julio Frenk for your continued vision and support.
Today, more than ever before, we are very close to changing medical history. Curing Paralysis is in our reach! I will continue to work very hard to make sure the dreams of millions of paralyzed people come true! Together we will CURE paralysis. Nicholas A. Buoniconti, Founder The Buoniconti Fund and The Miami Project
Dear Friends and Colleagues,The Miami Project to Cure Paralysis, a Center of Excellence at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, is considered the premier investigative research program conducting cutting edge discovery, translational and clinical investigations targeting brain and spinal cord injury. Recent neuroscience discoveries have helped change the way we treat people with neurological disorders. This success is the result of a focused bench-to-bedside approach to advance novel ideas and treatments. Several Miami Project initiated clinical trials are actively moving forward showing safety and efficacy. New multicenter therapeutic hypothermia clinical trials will treat acutely injured patients with severe spinal cord or traumatic brain injury. These trials are based on findings originally conducted by Miami Project researchers that could change the way we treat acutely injured patients.
In the area of reparative medicine and axonal regeneration, studies and trials utilizing cellular therapies, state-of-the-art neurorehabilitation strategies and robotic devices to improve function are underway. Our initial human Schwann cell trial has been completed with encouraging results that are being submitted for peer review publication. The chronic spinal cord injury trial is evaluating Schwann cell transplantation in combination with an extensive rehabilitation protocol. It is important to emphasize The Miami Project’s total commitment to develop and refine treatment protocols based on reproducible data to maximize recovery.
Another mission of The Miami Project is to utilize new technologies to better understand molecular mechanisms underlying cell death and axonal regeneration. The Miami Project researchers are collaborating with industry to improve function. Our Educational and Outreach programs are reaching out to individuals throughout the United States and abroad. We acknowledge and thank our spinal cord injured community for their important contributions to the success of our research programs. With the future completion of the new Christine E. Lynn Rehabilitation Center for The Miami Project to Cure Paralysis at UHealth/Jackson, our programs will continue to grow and help many more individuals with the quality of life issues associated with these injuries. We are excited about the future as we continue to collaborate with scientists worldwide to obtain new knowledge and develop therapeutic strategies. These are extraordinary times at The Miami Project and we greatly appreciate the critical support from our friends and colleagues.

CHRISTINE E. LYNN CHAMPION FOR A CURE AWARD
2016 – A Definitive YearI am so proud of the incredible accomplishments of The Miami Project. Over the past 31 years we have made remarkable scientific progress in our mission to cure paralysis. When my son Marc became a quadriplegic while making a tackle in a college football game, I truly believed there was no answer to reversing paralysis – where does one begin to solve what has always been impossible. I made Marc a promise that I would do whatever I could to help him. Little did I know from tragedy a miracle would occur – the most comprehensive spinal cord injury research center in the world: The Miami Project to Cure Paralysis.
The Buoniconti family merged with the spinal cord injury community and became ONE with the same goal – curing paralysis. All our love for family came together and built a foundation that is beyond what any of us could have ever imagined.
We are actively underway with our Human Clinical Trials Initiative. We enrolled acutely injured research participants in our Phase 1 Schwann cell safety trial. We successfully transplanted 6 participants who are doing incredibly well with no adverse effects. Trunk sensation has been reported and one participant has converted from complete to incomplete status. The Miami Project is conducting our Chronic Phase 1 Schwann Cell trial and 3 subjects have been successfully transplanted. The results are very encouraging and one participant is using his legs again!
Nerve bridging strategy with Schwann cells has one subject WALKING after severe leg trauma. We also have very encouraging results with stem cell transplantation. The Miami Project researchers are using Deep Brain Stimulation for neuropathic pain and therapeutic hypothermia has resulted in dramatic signs of improved function. Our male fertility program continues to expand with many beautiful babies being born in the SCI Community and the list of accomplishments goes on and on.
We are now in the process of building the state of the art Christine E. Lynn Rehabilitation Center for The Miami Project to Cure Paralysis at UHealth/Jackson. SCI and brain trauma patients from all over the world will be able to benefit from the most cutting edge and various rehabilitation and clinical research programs – a truly definitive year!
I want to THANK YOU ALL – The Buoniconti Fund’s Board of Directors, the Great Sports Legends, Honorees, Dinner attendees and University of Miami President Dr. Julio Frenk for your continued vision and support.
Today, more than ever before, we are very close to changing medical history. Curing Paralysis is in our reach! I will continue to work very hard to make sure the dreams of millions of paralyzed people come true! Together we will CURE paralysis. Nicholas A. Buoniconti, Founder The Buoniconti Fund and The Miami Project
Dear Friends and Colleagues,The Miami Project to Cure Paralysis, a Center of Excellence at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, is considered the premier investigative research program conducting cutting edge discovery, translational and clinical investigations targeting brain and spinal cord injury. Recent neuroscience discoveries have helped change the way we treat people with neurological disorders. This success is the result of a focused bench-to-bedside approach to advance novel ideas and treatments. Several Miami Project initiated clinical trials are actively moving forward showing safety and efficacy. New multicenter therapeutic hypothermia clinical trials will treat acutely injured patients with severe spinal cord or traumatic brain injury. These trials are based on findings originally conducted by Miami Project researchers that could change the way we treat acutely injured patients.
In the area of reparative medicine and axonal regeneration, studies and trials utilizing cellular therapies, state-of-the-art neurorehabilitation strategies and robotic devices to improve function are underway. Our initial human Schwann cell trial has been completed with encouraging results that are being submitted for peer review publication. The chronic spinal cord injury trial is evaluating Schwann cell transplantation in combination with an extensive rehabilitation protocol. It is important to emphasize The Miami Project’s total commitment to develop and refine treatment protocols based on reproducible data to maximize recovery.
Another mission of The Miami Project is to utilize new technologies to better understand molecular mechanisms underlying cell death and axonal regeneration. The Miami Project researchers are collaborating with industry to improve function. Our Educational and Outreach programs are reaching out to individuals throughout the United States and abroad. We acknowledge and thank our spinal cord injured community for their important contributions to the success of our research programs. With the future completion of the new Christine E. Lynn Rehabilitation Center for The Miami Project to Cure Paralysis at UHealth/Jackson, our programs will continue to grow and help many more individuals with the quality of life issues associated with these injuries. We are excited about the future as we continue to collaborate with scientists worldwide to obtain new knowledge and develop therapeutic strategies. These are extraordinary times at The Miami Project and we greatly appreciate the critical support from our friends and colleagues.
