About Us - About the Center |
The Center for Peripheral NeuropathyThe Center for Peripheral Neuropathy was established at the University of Chicago in May 2001. It is committed to educating the public and healthcare providers about this disease, providing state-of-the-art care to patients affected by peripheral neuropathy, and contributing to basic and clinical research in an effort to identify the causes and potential cures for these disorders. EducationThrough the use of the Internet, newsletters, public outreach programs and other resources, the Center aims to provide neuropathy patients, and their families, with detailed, accurate and comprehensible information concerning the various types of peripheral neuropathies, including approaches toward their diagnosis and treatment. Patient CareAlthough many types of peripheral neuropathy are not currently treatable, the neurology professionals at the Center use state-of-the-art equipment to provide accurate diagnoses. With proper treatment, the symptoms of peripheral neuropathy can often be managed and sometimes eliminated. The physicians affiliated with the Center include: Raymond P. Roos, M.D. Betty Soliven, M.D Kourosh Rezania, M.D. ResearchThe goal of the research component of the Center is to promote multidisciplinary investigations into the etiology and pathogenesis of peripheral neuropathies. Research includes experimental studies to determine the molecular cause and eventual cure of these disorders. The research team includes: Brian Popko, Ph.D. Raymond P. Roos, M.D. Kamal Sharma, Ph.D. Betty Soliven, M.D. Robert Wollmann, M.D., Ph.D. AdministrationDirector Administrative Assistant To schedule an appointment, call 773-702-5659 |
