Professor Wood holds the Galton Chair in Genetics at UCL and has been a Professor at the Institute of Neurology since 2001. His group have made major contributions to our understanding of the genetic basis of neurological disease.
Professor Wood is very excited at the prospect of helping the NIHR BRC deliver its ambitious programme of experimental Medicine and in particular the opportunities it presents to the Institute of Neurology.
"It seems important to me that in translating medical discoveries that we address fundamental issues based on the biology of neurological disease, and use the human disease as the model system to be studied" said Professor wood.
