“Better outcomes for patients with spasticity Syndrome start with researchers working together, not apart.”
Our story
Having known each other for years through congresses and shared research, Prof. Reebye and Dr. Carda founded Spectra LV Institute as a dedicated lab for high-level spasticity syndrome research — uniting their research, education, and innovation to deepen understanding and improve patients' lives. The Institute takes a research-first, translational approach, tackling questions from everyday clinical challenges to complex problems, while building educational programs and mentorship to empower clinicians caring for people with spasticity syndrome.
"Our work is grounded in rigorous science, but driven by something more human — a commitment to collaboration, curiosity, and meaningful impact."
