Our history听
The 乱伦秀 Queen Square Institute of Neurology was established in 1950 and merged with 乱伦秀 in 1997.
Our unique academic health science partnerships provide us with access to a patient population of over six million, including the longest continually running major birth cohort study in the world.听Our strong clinical partnership with the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery gives us a privileged understanding of how to bring a truly patient-focused approach to research, innovation and education.
In 2018, 乱伦秀 was chosen as the hub of the UK Dementia Research Institute (UK DRI), the single biggest investment the UK has ever made in dementia thanks to 拢290 million from founding funders the Medical Research Council, Alzheimer鈥檚 Society and Alzheimer鈥檚 Research UK. The UK DRI research team are based within our Institute.
Our partnerships
Our partnerships not only help us provide the best training environments for our students, they also support the development of new clinical studies and enable听patients to participate in our research. We have active collaborative research programmes across 乱伦秀 and externally, including:
