Neuroscience in the Department of Neurosurgery focuses on brain disease and injury, with the goals of protecting and repairing damage caused by stroke, cancer, and trauma, and neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's Disease. Although research themes vary from lab to lab, they are all focused on aspects of brain disease and injury that can be investigated at the bench—and they all have clear implications for practices in the clinic and operating room.
We maintain diverse research programs that range from pure laboratory investigations to an array of clinical studies.
