  • Announcing the UCL Institute of Prion Diseases

The Faculty of Brain Sciences has announced the addition of a new Institute - the Institute of Prion Diseases, taking the number of research Institutes and Divisions in the Faculty up to seven.

As part of this move, the existing MRC Prion Unit at the UCL  Institute of Neurology will transfer as a University Unit into the Institute, becoming part of the Faculty of Brain Sciences and School of Life and Medical Sciences.


The Institute of Prion Diseases will deliver a national centre of excellence which pursues a major long-term research strategy in Prion and related diseases.
