Neurologic Diseases

UC Irvine has broad expertise to manage neurologic diseases including stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, peripheral neuropathy and some of the rare inherited metabolic myopathies (such as Pompe disease) through cutting edge treatments and innovative clinical trials.

The Alpha Stem Cell Clinic at UC Irvine has been able to successfully conduct stem cell clinical trials for neurologic diseases, and will continue to work with other stakeholders to bring more clinical trials to our community. 

UC Irvine Alpha Stem Cell Clinic has ongoing stem cell based trials for Parkinson’s disease, stroke, myasthenia gravis, Pompe disease and critical limb ischemia.
