Francisco (UCSF). Our mission includes delivering the most exceptional clinical care to our patients, leading transformative cutting-edge research, and training the leaders of tomorrow in both neurology and neuroscience. Our department鈥檚 faculty, trainees, and staff work at a University and in a community that values and embraces diversity and strives to make an impact worldwide through our global and public health efforts. 聽</p> <p>It could not be a more exciting time for our field. Advances in the laboratory are increasingly being brought to the bedside to help the millions of patients suffering from neurologic disorders. Our unique structure as an integrated group of scientists and clinicians working closely together allows us to rapidly move discoveries into the clinic and the hospital while practicing models of care that are focused on putting patients and their families first.</p> <p>The individuals featured throughout these pages have dedicated their work to solving the deeply personal neurological diseases that impact us all. Working together as a team, we fully believe that we have an environment of discovery, clinical care, and education that can lead to incredible advances in the coming years. We invite you to explore our website to see what our department can offer.</p> </div></div></div> <div class="paragraphs-items paragraphs-items-field-paragraph-sections paragraphs-items-field-paragraph-sections-full paragraphs-items-full"> <div class="field field-name-field-paragraph-sections field-type-paragraphs field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><div class="entity entity-paragraphs-item paragraphs-item-blockreferences"> <div class="content"> </div> </div> </div></div></div></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="sidebar" class="column"> <div class="sidebar_top"> <div class="region region-sidebar-top"> <div id="block-menu-block-2" class="block block-menu-block"> <h3><a href="/" class="active">Home</a></h3> <div class="content"> <div class="menu-block-wrapper menu-block-2 menu-name-main-menu parent-mlid-0 menu-level-2"> <ul class="menu"><li class="first leaf menu-mlid-2726"><a href="/fast-facts" title="Facts & Figures">Fast Facts</a></li> <li class="leaf menu-mlid-2781"><a href="/giving">Giving</a></li> <li class="leaf menu-mlid-3106"><a href="/recent-honors-awards">Recent Honors & Awards</a></li> <li class="leaf menu-mlid-2756"><a href="http://neurology.ucsf.edu/neurology-events" title="Events in Neurology" target="_blank">Neurology Calendar</a></li> <li class="last leaf menu-mlid-3086"><a href="https://weill.ucsf.edu/" target="_blank">UCSF Weill Institute for Neurosciences</a></li> </ul></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div></div> <div id="footer"> <div class="section"> <div class="footer-bottom"> <nav aria-label="Footer Navigation" class="footer--navigation"> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.ucsf.edu/accessibility-resources">Accessibility</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.ucsf.edu/website-privacy-policy">Privacy Policy</a></li> <li><a href="https://websites.ucsf.edu/website-terms-use">Terms of Use </a></li> <li><a href="https://websites.ucsf.edu/azlist">A-Z Website List</a></li> </ul> </nav> <div class="footer--copyright"> <p>© 2024 The Regents of the University of California</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <script type="text/javascript"> /*<![CDATA[*/ (function() { var sz = document.createElement('script'); sz.type = 'text/javascript'; sz.async = true; sz.src = '//siteimproveanalytics.com/js/siteanalyze_8343.js'; var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(sz, s); })(); /*]]>*/ </script> </body> </html>
