Dr. Elizabeth Bottorff is a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Minnesota. Her research focuses on neuromodulation to restore sexual function and pelvic organ health after spinal cord injury, addressing an often-overlooked aspect of recovery. Using both preclinical and clinical models, she investigates how targeted nerve stimulation can improve genital blood flow and pelvic function. Dr. Bottorff aims to advance therapies that go beyond mobility to improve overall quality of life for individuals with spinal cord injuries, integrating insights from neurophysiology, rehabilitation science, and engineering.
