Research Programs

Harvard Medical School	MGH East

The Brigham and Womens Hospital and the Massachusetts General Hospital are committed to improving the care of patients with neurologic disorders by advancing research. The two hospitals routinely top the list of independent hospital recipients of NIH funding in the nation. Neurologic research is carried out at various sites including the hospitals themselves, the MGH East Research Campus in Charlestown Navy Yard, the Center for Aging and Neurodegenerative Disease at the MGH East Campus, and the Harvard Institute of Medicine at the Harvard Medical School Campus. In addition Partners neurologists are based at, or collaborate with, laboratories at Harvard Neurobiology, MIT, and McLean Hospital. The Neurology resident is exposed to advances in clinical and bench research while involved in patient care as well as in a formal neruoscience lecture series. For the resident interested in research a host of opportunities exist to visit or work in a multitude of laboratories or attend almost daily conferences in Neuroscience or Clinical investigation.

The clinical services listed in the faculty and clinical programs page include clinical and basic research efforts devoted to specific neurologic diseases. Those plus the following list provide a glimpse into the rich research environment available to the Partners Neurology Resident.
