Research overview
Neil Scolding is currently the Burden Professor and Director of the Bristol Institute of Clinical Neurosciences based at Frenchay Hospital.
He trained in Neurology in Cardiff and at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, Queen Square, prior to which he was a University Lecturer and Consultant Neurologist in Cambridge.
Neil has a clinical and research interest in the biology of multiple sclerosis and in particular in attempting to develop treatments designed to repair the brain and spinal cord in patients with disability from MS.
