"In my career, I had the honour and privilege to work in several fantastic research institutes and Universities in Europe and USA, working in partnership with the brightest minds. However, it is at the UCL Institute of Neurology that I found the perfect equilibrium between basic and clinical research and a genuine aspiration and drive to change the future of human health”. Professor Giampietro Schiavo
"We are entering a very exciting phase in research into diseases such as PSP, Parkinson’s and the diseases that cause dementia. Thirty years of work by investigators around the world, largely driven by the study of rare families with inherited forms of these diseases, has led to a raft of new trials of powerful biologic disease modifying therapies. I am delighted to have joined the Institute of Neurology, Royal Free Hospital and National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery where our work focusing on studying the genetics andbiology of these diseases, based onpatients and families, can betranslated into new therapies. TheInstitute of Neurology hasunrivalledresources for the multi-disciplinary investigation,amelioration and solution of thesediseases” Professor Huw Morris
