Manju Kurian 教授

Consultant Paediatric Neurologist. Principal Research Associate

概述

Professor Manju Kurian is an academic paediatric neurologist who has worked at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) since March 2011. She is affiliated with the Neurosciences Unit at the University College London (UCL) Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health and she is a Professor of Neurogenetics and NIHR Research Professor. Also, She is Chair of the British Paediatric Neurology Association (BPNA), Research from 2019 to 2022. 

Professor Manju Kurian’s clinical areas of interest include movement disorders, neurometabolic syndromes, and childhood neurodegeneration. Her current research encompasses gene discovery for childhood neurological disorders, including early-onset epilepsy, neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation (NBIA), and other motor disorders, such as dystonia and parkinsonism. Her lab uses a number of different models (including patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cell models) to investigate the underlying pathological basis of disease and develop novel precision therapies.

Professor Manju Kurian’s long-term goal is to translate her research for patient benefit, through improved clinical diagnosis and better personalised medicine approaches.

"I am constantly inspired by the patients and their families at the hospital. By combining my clinical practice with academic research, my aim is to improve clinical diagnosis in my area of expertise as well as to explore novel therapeutic options on a research basis. The long-term goal is to improve the experience and outlook for patients with neurological disorders.
