Neurology

The Division of Neurology is dedicated to delivering world-leading research that advances our understanding of neurological disease and translates scientific discoveries into meaningful improvements in patient care. By bridging the gap between laboratory science and clinical practice, we aim to develop innovative diagnostic tools, treatments, and healthcare interventions that improve outcomes for individuals living with neurological disorders.

Our Division brings together internationally recognised non-clinical scientists, clinician scientists, and academic neurologists working across a broad spectrum of research areas, including epilepsy, stroke, Parkinson’s disease, dementia, multiple sclerosis, motor neuron disease, and neurogenetic and neuroinflammatory disorders.

Through multidisciplinary collaboration and the application of cutting-edge approaches spanning molecular and cellular neuroscience, genetics, neuroimaging, computational biology, clinical trials, and population health research, we seek to address some of the most pressing challenges in neurology.

Research areas include:

• Epilepsy
• Cognitive neurology and dementia
• Traumatic brain injury
• Multiple sclerosis
• Movement disorders
• Centre for Vestibular Neurology
• Neuropathies
• Neonatal encephalopathy
• UKDRI Centre for Research and Technology (UKDR CR & T)
• The Landmark Project

We are equally committed to fostering an inclusive, diverse, and supportive environment where talented individuals from all backgrounds can thrive, collaborate, and contribute. By combining excellence in research with a culture of openness, innovation, and mutual respect, we create the conditions for scientific discovery to flourish. Through strong partnerships with NHS organisations, research institutes, industry, and international collaborators, we are driving the development of novel therapies and pioneering new approaches to the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of neurological disease.
