Welcome to the Department of Clinical Neurosciences.
Our mission is to improve the lives of people with neurological illness and injury through discovery, innovative treatments and training the next generation.
We are embedded within Cambridge University Hospitals, allowing our research questions to stem from problems we have encountered in the clinic, and to directly address the needs of patients and families. We work in partnership with the Departments of Psychiatry, Genetics and Paediatrics, to improve brain and mind health, through life, together.
We investigate the mechanisms of brain disease and injury, to devise new diagnostics and treatments, as well as using large data to improve the way we deliver current treatments. Our work has already led to new treatments in use world-wide.
