The Centre combines laboratory and clinical expertise focused on neurological disorders, their mechanisms of disease and RNA and AAV gene therapy expertise. The Centre facilitates cutting-edge RNA and gene therapy programs to pursue discovery of novel therapies using RNA and AAV technologies, with identification and refinement of target for therapeutic intervention.

Our Research
The centre spearheads activities in this rapidly evolving area and play's a major role in translational neuroscience in UCL

People
Our research into neurodegenerative diseases focuses on understanding the underlaying processes of these conditions

IoN Research
We are home to some of the world's most influential researchers and offer a wealth of scientific and clinical expertise, from laboratory benches through to patient care

Translational Research, Advanced Therapeutics and Enterprise
The QS IoN supports and facilitates researchers wishing to embark on the translational pathway and offers many resources to reach their goals.
The centre is based at ION QS, and subsequently will be at the new £281m Translational Neuroscience building on Grays Inn Road. It will combine laboratory and clinical expertise focused on neurological, neuromuscular and neurodegenerative disorders, their mechanisms of disease and cutting-edge RNA and AAV gene therapy expertise and foster cross-institutional collaborations between ION QS and GOSH ICH.
For more than three decades, UCL has worked at the frontiers of brain science: making fundamental discoveries about brain function and behaviour, transforming our ability to treat neurological and psychiatric disorders, and training the next generation of scientists and clinicians. With the visionary support of funders, we are set to achieve a neuroscience revolution which will improve the lives of millions.
