About

We conduct clinical trials and observational studies in the areas of brain and spine disorders. This includes memory loss, dementia, stroke, Parkinson’s disease and spinal cord injury. Our neuroscience research teams work through  Struthers Parkinson's Center and the Center for Memory & Aging.  An additional area of focus is on intranasal drug delivery.
