Lead academic: Dr Julie Simpson
This course combines taught modules on the fundamental aspects of the major nervous system diseases, with the development of practical laboratory skills encompassing histopathology, molecular pathology and microscopy.
You'll be trained to use tissue samples in neuroscience research aimed at understanding the pathophysiology of nervous system diseases and you'll discover how laboratory breakthroughs have been translated into clinical benefits.
The course will be taught by scientists and consultant neuropathologists who are experts in their fields. You'll get the opportunity to carry out neuroanatomy dissection and you'll work with leading research groups during the research project.
