Service of Neurology

The research carried out by the Service of Neurology, in collaboration with outstanding specialists on the national and international stage focuses on translational research, which links clinical and basic research.

These links promote the emergence of new research questions suggested by clinical observation or by attempts to apply biological or theoretical models of pathogenesis in humans.

This research involves working closely with:

• Other services and research structures within the Department of Clinical Neuroscience, as well as other departments of the CHUV, such as the Laboratory of Neuroimmunology
• And a great number of outside collaborators, for example the Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging, UCL, London.
