Building Brighter Futures Through Brain Research
The Neuroscience Research Center at Nemours Children’s works to develop innovative treatments that improve the lives of children with neurological disorders. Located in the Delaware Valley, our team leverages the synergy of a diverse team of clinical and basic science investigators. We collaborate across disciplines to advance pediatric research and provide exceptional care.
We believe team science is the best science. We combine our expertise to understand the mechanisms underlying pediatric neurological disorders. Our work helps us better predict progression and develop treatments and prevention therapies that can improve quality of life for children everywhere.
Our team includes experts in epilepsy, general neurology, neonatal neurology, neuro-ophthalmology, neuromuscular disorders, neuroimmunology and genetics. Flagship programs like our Level IV Epilepsy Center with advanced epilepsy monitoring unit and MDA-certified neuromuscular program highlight our leadership in these areas. We also train future leaders through our robust neurology residency and fellowship programs.
With active clinical trials exploring new treatments for conditions like tuberous sclerosis, migraine, and Dravet syndrome, we are at the forefront in translating discoveries into real-world impact.
