The department is in the midst of an exciting and aggressive expansion, with a university-wide consolidation of basic and clinical neuroscience disciplines, for the shared purpose of achieving an integrated, translationally-oriented program in neuromedicine. Our goal within neurology is to establish a fully vertically integrated department, in which advances in basic cellular and molecular neurobiology are rapidly advanced to preclinical assessment, and then translated bench to bedside with clinical trials that may be designed and executed internally. The department is already a premier center for training in clinical neurology, as well as in both basic and translational neurobiology and experimental therapeutics; we now hope to combine and leverage these strengths, so as to speed our progress towards developing fundamentally new treatments for neurological disease, while making Rochester a national center for these efforts. I invite you to become more familiar with our department, and to participate in these efforts.
