Research

The Department of Neurology has well-equipped laboratory and research facilities with basic laboratories for neurochemistry and neurophysiology in the Medical School adjacent to the University of Washington Medical Center and at the Veterans Affairs Puget Sound Health Care System. The laboratories of Neuropathology and Electroencephalography are well equipped for both clinical and research purposes.
An interdisciplinary neuroscience program with great diversity exists in the medical school. This program sponsors numerous seminars and courses in basic neuroscience. Neurology residents with strong interest in pursuing basic research projects during or following their residency can often arrange to work with a member of this faculty.
