Baylor College of Medicine Department of Neurology This is an extraordinary time for neurology and the clinical neurosciences.

The Department of Neurology at Baylor College of Medicine provides personalized care for patients with neurological disease, trains medical students and residents in clinical care and research, and conducts research to advance the science of neurology. The Department of Neurology at Baylor College of Medicine provides personalized care for patients with neurological disease, trains medical students and residents in clinical care and research, and conducts research to advance the art and science of neurology and provide meaningful new therapies for our patients. There has been an explosion of new knowledge about the development and function of the nervous system, and the disorders that afflict the nervous system. New tools and new ideas lead to better and more powerful research, and we are a part of this expanding awareness and discovery.

Baylor Neurology leadership and staff once again came together for our Annual Strategic Planning Meeting — reflecting on the progress we’ve made and looking ahead to what’s next.

We were honored to welcome Dr. Jakub Tolar, President, CEO and Executive Dean of Baylor College of Medicine, who joined us to share his perspective and meet with our department leadership. His engagement added an important perspective as we continue shaping the future of our department.

Together, we’re building on a strong foundation to advance neurological care, research, education and innovation — and to better serve our patients, learners and community.

🎉 Congratulations to Henika Patel, Ph.D., Instructor of Neurology in the Lasagna-Reeves Lab, on receiving an Alzheimer's Association Research Fellowship!

The three-year fellowship will support Henika’s research on Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias, advancing our understanding of the biological mechanisms underlying these neurodegenerative conditions and helping lay the groundwork for new therapeutic approaches.

Her achievement highlights the innovative research taking place in the Lasagna-Reeves Lab and across Baylor Neurology, where researchers are working to uncover new insights into disease mechanisms and translate those discoveries into therapeutic advances.

We’re proud to celebrate Henika and the important contributions she is making to neuroscience research. 🧠🔬👏

We’re celebrating a significant investment in Parkinson’s disease research! 🎉

The Robert J. and Claire Pasarow Foundation has generously gifted $500,000 to support research led by principal investigator Cristian Lasagna Reeves, PhD, and his lab team, focused on understanding the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease.

We’re grateful for this generous support, which will help Dr. Lasagna-Reeves and his team advance research, deepen our understanding of Parkinson’s, and drive continued discovery toward new approaches to treatment. 🧠🔬

We’re proud to recognize Joseph Jankovic, MD, Professor of Neurology, Distinguished Chair in Movement Disorders, and the Director of the Parkinson’s Disease Center and Movement Disorders Clinic at Baylor College of Medicine, for his longstanding contributions to Bradley and Daroff’s Neurology in Clinical Practice (NICP).

NICP has been considered the most authoritative resource for neurologists, psychiatrists, neurosurgeons, physician extenders, neuroscientists, neuropsychologists, and trainees.

Dr. Jankovic has served as an editor since the 4th Edition and is the lead editor for both the 8th and upcoming 9th Editions. The newest edition is a comprehensive two-volume, 2,223-page resource featuring updated, evidence-based guidance across the full spectrum of neurological disorders. It is also available in digital version and includes more than 100 videos.

This 9th edition of NICP is part of Dr. Jankovic’s remarkable body of scholarly work, which includes more than 50 published books throughout his career.

Congratulations to Dr. Jankovic on this significant achievement and his continued contributions to the education and practice of neurology! 🧠📖

We're excited to welcome three new fellows to the Baylor College of Medicine Department of Neurology's Movement Disorders Fellowship Training Program!

Please join us in welcoming Irma Duncan, M.D., Amy Sim, M.D., and Miguel Gomez, D.O., who join Chief Fellow Dhruv Bansal, M.D. As our newest fellowship class begins, we're especially pleased to welcome both new faces and a familiar one, with Dr. Duncan continuing her training after completing her Adult Neurology Residency at Baylor.

Throughout their fellowship, they will receive advanced clinical training in the diagnosis and treatment of Parkinson's disease, tremor, dystonia, Huntington's disease and other movement disorders while learning alongside our internationally recognized faculty.

Welcome, we're excited to have you with us!
