Quality Patient Care | Advanced Training | Cutting-Edge Research
Translating cutting-edge research to world-class patient care is our highest priority.
The academic mission of the department is to provide a basic understanding of the causes of neurological disorders and through this understanding to develop effective new therapies.
Research is a critical element in the fight against neurological disease; it paves the way for the development and implementation of new therapies and provides opportunities to expand our academic mission.
Our clinics have established a track record of cutting-edge care. Medical staff use state-of-the-art techniques in the diagnosis, evaluation, management, and treatment of adult patients with demyelinating disorders and autoimmune disorders of the brain and spinal cord.
