Welcome<\/h2>\n

The research mission of the Department of Neurology at UT Health San Antonio is strong, broad and expanding. The department has a robust basic science and translational focus through the Glenn Biggs Institute for Alzheimer\u2019s & Neurodegenerative Diseases (Biggs Institute), along with a burgeoning number of clinical and outcomes trials and disease registries throughout the rest of the department<\/p>\n

Centers of excellence form the cornerstone of the Neurology Department. There is a Level IV National Association of Epilepsy Center (NAEC)- accredited epilepsy center, along with centers of excellence in Parkinson\u2019s disease, Huntington\u2019s Disease, ALS, muscular dystrophies, multiple sclerosis and stroke (the only Joint Commission- accredited Comprehensive Stroke Center in South Texas). Additionally, the department contributes as a member site in numerous research consortia including the Northeast ALS Consortium (NEALS), Healey Platform Trial in ALS, Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy Clinical Trials Network (FSHD-CTRN), Myotonic Dystrophy Clinical Research Network (DMCRN), Genetic Resolution and Assessments Solving Phenotypes in Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy (GRASP-LGMD), Texas Lone Star Stroke Consortium and NIH StrokeNet.<\/p>\n

The research program at UT Health San Antonio continues an upward trajectory with further expansion planned for the years to come.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image image=”5794″ img_size=”medium” css=””][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”panel single-border colorized-border single-border-top border-colorized-theme”]<\/p>\n
