I want to highlight two of these new faculty members who are expanding the portfolio of subspecialists within our department.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Mukaresh is ushering in neuro-ophthalmology as a new sub-specialty for UNC Neurology.\u00a0Her expertise will expand the type of care our department can provide as well as help ensure that neurology residents get exposure and training in this important component of nervous system function.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Testa was recruited to UNC to develop and lead a new sub-specialty division of precision neurology and neurogenetics.\u00a0She has a long track record of providing state-of-the-art care for patients with inherited movement disorders as well as spearheading gene therapy clinical trials, and plans to make more trials available for patients at UNC. She will also be a key leader in training future neurologists on the use of state-of-the-art approaches for genetic diagnosis of inherited neurological disease.<\/p>\n<p>Along with the expansion of our faculty, there is exciting news coming in the fall. We will be moving the Neurology Clinic to a much larger space in the UNC Health Meadowmont Village Circle building in October.\u00a0This increased clinic space is needed to accommodate new faculty as well as additional disease-focused, multi-specialty clinics.<\/p>\n<p>The Child Neurology Clinic will also be moving from the Pediatric Subspecialty Clinic to a much larger space at the Carolina Pointe II building, while continuing to provide ambulatory care at the UNC Children\u2019s Specialty Services Clinic at Blue Ridge in Raleigh. More details on these new clinic spaces for adult and child neurology will be forthcoming in future newsletters.<\/p>\n<h5><span style=\"color: #007fae;\"><strong>Neurology staff volunteer at the UNC Friday Center vaccine clinic<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-11284\" src=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/neurology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/716\/2021\/06\/Friday2.jpg\" alt=\"Weekend Volunteers for the Friday Center Clinic\" width=\"250\" height=\"185\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/neurology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/716\/2021\/06\/Friday2.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/neurology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/716\/2021\/06\/Friday2-300x222.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A special <strong><em>thank you<\/em><\/strong> to the Neurology employees who used their vacation time and volunteered on Saturdays to staff the UNC Friday Center vaccine clinic.
