Samantha J. Butler is a British American developmental neuroscientist at University of California, Los Angeles. She studies how the sensory interneurons in the spinal cord are first established during development and then connect to form circuits. Her research goal is to develop drugs and stem cell-based therapies that help people with spinal cord injuries and nerve damage regain sensation.
