Mission Statement
The mission of the Department of Neurology at Baylor College of Medicine is to translate advances in the basic science laboratory into meaningful therapy for the neurological afflictions of patients. At the same time, we provide an environment in which students and residents can learn medical and research skills and develop into the preeminent physicians and scientists of tomorrow.
In the past several years, we have seen an explosion of new knowledge and understanding of the biochemical, physiological, pharmacological, and molecular make-up of the nervous system. These basic science advances have led to new ways of diagnosing human neurological disease, new methods for treating previously untreatable diseases, and new insights into the effective control of stroke, dementia, epilepsy, parkinsonism, ALS, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, and neuromuscular diseases. Our primary goal at the Department of Neurology is to continue these advances through basic research and intensive educational activities, and to integrate them into patient care. Through this approach, we will achieve excellence in the clinical, research, and educational inquiry into the human brain and nervous system.
