The nervous system:
Damage to the nervous system through injury or disease can cause breakdowns in neuro and sensory systems. These breakdowns stop messages from being properly sent and received. Without these messages to guide movement and other activities, even ordinary tasks can become difficult or impossible to complete.
Committed to patients:
Doctors, nurses, allied health and researchers at the Krembil Neuroscience Centre are dedicated to treating patients with neurological conditions and finding ways to cure damage to the nervous system. The KNC attracts internationally renowned experts with the goal of providing the best care for patients and advancing global leading research.
The Krembil Discovery Centre is the next stage in our vision as leaders in global leading research and treatment |
