Spotlight on: Nick Ward

This week we talk to Nick, a Professor of Clinical Neurology and Neurorehabilitation at UCL Queen Square, about his work with recovering brain injury patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. What is your role and what does it involve? I am a Professor of Clinical Neurology and Neurorehabilitation at UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology. My clinical and research interest is in understanding how to promote best recovery of movement, particularly of the arm and hand, after stroke and other forms of brain injury. I run an NHS service that offers high dose and intensity of upper limb rehabilitation. I also have a research group that focuses on various aspects of the relationship between brain injury and upper limb recovery, using brain imaging, neurophysiology and fine-grained measures of motor behaviour. How long have you been at UCL and what was your previous role?. I started at UCL in 1999 as a research fellow at the Wellcome Trust Centre for Human Neuroimaging in Richard Frackowiak's group, using fMRI to look at brain reorganisation after stroke.
