Course Description
New scientific technologies in the laboratory have advanced our understanding of basic mechanisms of neurological disease over the past decade, changing the paradigm of how neurologists care for patients with debilitating and chronic diseases. By bringing scientists, clinicians and patients together, the Weill Institute for Neuroscience strives to accelerate translation of rapid scientific discovery into improving diagnostic accuracy and bringing new therapeutic programs to patients. This seminar will highlight some of the new diagnostic testing and treatments available to patients with neurological disease.
