Research Project: MSc Clinical Neurology (CLNE0038)

You will engage in a wider research project carried out at UCL and assigned a project supervisor; through pursuing your chosen practical project, you will gain in depth knowledge, understanding and practical experience of their chosen research topic area, in addition to:

- Knowledge and understanding

- Research and development methods appropriate to the chosen topic.  

This module entails the completion of a 10,000 words dissertation on an area of research that you have chosen to study (either by picking from a list of topics or through networking with academics at UCL). Your research project must involve collection/analysis of original data or a systematic review.

Skeletal Muscle and Associated Diseases (CLNE0022)

This module will introduce the anatomy, development, physiology and function of skeletal muscles. Building on functional characteristics of muscles, the module will also give you a comprehensive overview of paediatric and adult muscle diseases including muscular dystrophies, mitochondrial diseases, muscle channelopathies, and idiopathic inflammatory myopathies. Translational research conducted at the UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology and Great Ormond Street Hospital will be highlighted. Disease pathology, pathomechanisms, clinical research and latest therapeutic applications as well as clinical management of muscle disease are also a main focus of this translational module bridging clinical practice to scientific research. Masterclasses will help students to understand the use of imaging techniques, histopathology and electrophysiology techniques in the diagnostic work-up and in the context of clinical trials.
By the end of this module, you will gain an understanding of how normal muscle function is altered in various pathological conditions that affect muscles. You will be able to critically assess muscle function measurements used in the clinical setting as well as have an understanding about current research trends in paediatric and adult-onset muscle diseases. You will also develop writing skills and understand the principles of writing Patient Information Leaflets on muscle diseases through the assignment task students will need to undertake in the course of the module.
