Beyond clinical care

Research to advance care and treatment

Our work goes beyond patient care at the Norman Fixel Institute. Every day, our research teams search for new and better care and treatment therapies for neurological diseases.

From basic science in the lab to clinical trials in the clinic, our research and clinical teams want to understand why and how neurological diseases happen and how we can change the future of patient care for the better.
