About us
The Department of Basic & Clinical Neuroscience is situated in the Maurice Wohl Clinical Neuroscience Institute on the Denmark Hill Campus. It is home to the UK Dementia Research Institute at King’s and the newly established UK Motor Neuron Disease (MND) Research Institute. Furthermore, by working closely with King’s College Hospital, Guy’s Hospital and St Thomas’ Hospital, we ensure novel treatments are both effective and practical.
Department of Basic & Clinical Neuroscience academics lead the Alzheimer’s Research UK London Network Centre and the mTOR Pathway Diseases node, part of the NIHR/MRC Rare Disease Research UK Platform.
Professor Thuret and Professor Giese are co-leading the department to provide the best possible environment for world-class fundamental and clinical research in neurodegeneration and mechanisms of mental health while they strive to promote a culture of collaboration, research integrity, respect and inclusivity amongst members of the fundamental and clinical neuroscience community.
