Neurology
Overview
The 21st century is the “Century of Neuroscience”. Therefore we adopt a multidisciplinary approach using various methologogies such as molecular biology, physiology, neuroimaging, and proteomics for each neurological disorder to clarify the pathogenesis on a molecular level and to develop novel treatments. All staff members are striving towards novel treatment, research, education, and a social contribution in the field of neurological diseases by cultivating excellent neurologists.
