Research Departments

Research at the Institute of Neurology focuses on basic and clinical research related to neurological disorders research. Interactions within the UCL Research, the UCL Neuroscience and NHS communities are extensive and fruitful.

The research programme is driven by teams led by a Principal Investigator, with staff grouped into eight Research Departments that reflect their specialist interests and affinities. This structure helps promote close multidisciplinary interaction between teams of scientists with a wide variety of backgrounds and qualifications who work together on a single disease-based topic

The academic staff also belong to one of six different Divisions: these have been established to ensure that professional affiliations are well represented and to provide a forum for those with similar specialist training.

Research Departments:

Department of Brain Repair & Rehabilitation

Department of Clinical and Experimental Epilepsy

Department of Clinical Neuroscience (Hampstead Campus)

Department of Molecular Neuroscience

Department of Neurodegenerative Disease

Department of Neuroinflammation

Sobell Department of Motor Neuroscience and Movement Disorders

Wellcome Department of Imaging Neuroscience

The UCL Institute of Neurology promotes teaching and research of the highest quality in neurology and the neurosciences. The Institute of Neurology and the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery are members of  UCL Partners, Europe's largest academic health science partnership.
