Division of Clinical Neurology

The Division of Clinical Neurology was established in the Faculty of Medicine in September 1992 with the appointment of Professor Lance Blumhardt.

About Us

Currently the division is headed by Professor Constantinescu. We have an associate professor, Dr Gran, and several neurology research registrars. There is also a research physicist, and a research technician within the division. 

As well as the research staff, and support staff, there are several PhD students within the division.

The MS Clinical Trials Unit

Established in 1994, is now internationally recognised by many leading pharmaceutical companies, and remains very active conducting clinical trials among people with multiple sclerosis.

 

Research interests

Within the division of clinical Neurology we largely focus on multiple sclerosis (MS). There is a diversity of approaches to the research : magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), immunology, and pathology in MS.

Image Analysis Software

We are developing our own MRI image analysis software (NeuRoi), which can be downloaded and used freely.
