Developing innovative therapies for neurological and neurodegenerative diseases through collaboration

connections graphic The Brain Repair And Intracranial Neurotherapeutics (BRAIN) Unit is a research organisation working to develop new therapies for brain diseases.

Our work focuses on neurological and neurodegenerative conditions such as Huntington’s disease, epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease and multiple sclerosis.

BRAIN Unit will bring together experts in a range of fields from Cardiff, Swansea and Bangor Universities, along with colleagues in NHS Wales and industry.

We believe that through innovation and collaboration, our research can lead to more effective therapies and make life better for those affected.

BRAIN Unit is funded by Health and Care Research Wales.

Our Research Themes

Therapeutics delivery
