Laboratory Research
UNC Neurology supports teams of clinicians, scientists, students, and collaborators who conduct groundbreaking lab research in their pursuit of more effective treatments of neurological diseases. Much of the
department’s research is conducted within the Neurosciences Research Building in 7,000 square feet of wet laboratory space. The adjoining UNC Biomedical Research Imaging Center (BRIC) houses state-of-the-art imaging equipment for human subject and animal research.
The UNC Neuroscience Center brings together researchers from many disciplines to work on fundamental problems in basic and clinical neuroscience. Other academic and industrial institutions in the Research Triangle enhance the diverse scientific environment.
