Research centres

The International Centre for Genomic Medicine in Neuromuscular Diseases works for people with Neuromuscular Diseases (NMDs) and their families.

We investigate how the human brain generates behaviour, thoughts, and feelings and how to use this knowledge to help patients with neurological and psychiatric disorders.

UCL Drug Discovery Institute, part of Alzheimer’s Research UK Drug Discovery Alliance, merges academic expertise with industry-standard drug discovery to accelerate new medicines.

Our centre brings together specialists researchers and clinical academics for basic & translational research in all forms of ataxia, and best clinical practice.

UCL Dementia Research Centre leads patient-focused dementia research, aiming to understand disease processes, improve diagnosis and treatments, and support patients and families.

The Unit specialises in neurosurgical and neurological care for patients with Parkinson’s disease and other movement and neuropsychiatric disorders.

The Centre combines laboratory and clinical expertise focused on neurological disorders, their mechanisms of disease and RNA and AAV gene therapy expertise.

Our research spans from laboratory research to understand how the Huntington’s disease gene causes the disease and affects the brain, through to the development of innovative new treatments.

An experimental neurology clinical facility and training programme, aimed at the understanding and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.

The Centre is dedicated to studying the causes of psychiatric disorders as well as the causes of individual differences in cognitive development, with an emphasis on adulthood and old age.

A hub for clinical and research excellence in movement disorders, including Parkinson’s disease. Our researchers investigate causes, biological mechanisms, and develop new treatments.

The UCL Queen Square Motor Neuron Disease Centre spans the spectrum of basic discovery science, translational and experimental medicine and clinical research.

The Centre unites MS research and care at UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology and UCLH National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, with links across UCL.

The Institute has an active programme of research into neurodegenerative conditions, with particular emphasis on parkinsonian disorders, hereditary spastic paraplegia and stroke.

A unique archive of brains and tissue donated by individuals with neurodegenerative disease and neurologically normal controls, for neuropathological studies and for global scientific research.
