Prof Tony Schapira is the Head of the Department of Clinical Neuroscience at the UCL Institute of Neurology and Chairman of Clinical Neurosciences Specialties.
The primary area of research in the department is the investigation of the aetiology and pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders. Specifically the department has an interest in the genetics and biochemistry of Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease and Friedreich's ataxia. The department has established an international reputation in this area and in the area of diseases of the mitochondrial respiratory chain and inborn errors of mitochondrial function. There are also extensive research programmes on the genetics and pathogenesis of dystonia, motor neurone disease and peripheral nerve disorders. A joint appointment with the Hammersmith Hospital has provided an additional research interest in neuropsychology. Facilities for research are extensive. There are general laboratories for biochemistry, molecular biology, tissue preparation etc, in addition to specialist laboratory space for tissue culture (4 hoods), molecular biology, radioactive work, fluorimetry, spectrophotometry, lipid chemistry and histochemistry. There are advanced facilities for image analysis including an electron microscope.
