UQCCR and RBWH Brain, Neurology and Mental Health Seminar Series

The UQ Centre of Clinical Research (UQCCR) and Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital Neurology department have partnered to present a monthly seminar series with the aim to facilitate greater links between neurologists and basic neuroscientists; encouraging collaborations as well as synergy within our brain, neurology and mental health group. The series is hybrid held in person and via Teams.

Each Month on Thursdays we showcase different research topics:

First Thursday - Stroke
Second Thursday - Motor neurone disease
Third Thursday - Epilepsy
Fourth Thursday - Movement disorders
