Rolex Awards Laureate gcourtine is helping paralysed people walk again. Passionate about rock climbing from a young age, a meeting with a neuroscience professor at a cliff sparked an exchange on how the brain controls movement – shaping his career. Now, as part of our Perpetual Planet Initiative, Courtine is taking his work to a new level, treating a patient with a fully severed spinal cord. #Rolex #Reachforthecrown #PerpetualPlanet
