Neuro-Immunology and Peripheral Neuropathy Team Introduction
Neuro-Immunology and Peripheral Neuropathy Department at Taipei Neuroscience Institute is divided into three teams. Each team is responsible for different disease categories, making their professionalism more prominent.
The Shuang Ho Hospital team specializes in Myasthenia Gravis and Autoimmune encephalitis. The team at Taipei Medical University Hospital focuses on multiple sclerosis and Neuromyelitis Optica spectrum disorder. The Wan Fang Hospital team specializes in Acute and Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy.
Although each team has its own focus area, in order to ensure the consistency of medical services and teaching quality, case seminars are held regularly to promote knowledge sharing and the improvement of professional skills, and enhance research energy and innovation capabilities. No matter which three hospitals they visit, patients can receive the same high-quality medical services.
The teams actively participate in international clinical trials, such as trials of emerging biologic therapies for Myasthenia Gravis and other diseases. Promote medical progress, and bring new hope and opportunities for patients to improve their quality of life.。
