Our Mission & Vision
Our mission is to use population-based epidemiological research methods to study the distribution, frequency, and etiologies of neurological diseases and to assess healthcare utilization by affected patients.
Our vision is to improve the health and quality of life of patients and caregivers currently affected by neurological diseases and to prevent new cases of these diseases from developing by identifying currently-unknown causes.
