COVID-19: A Global Threat to the Nervous System

The Institute for Global Health Seminar Series is held the first Friday of each month, September through July, and features the research and ideas of outstanding global health leaders at Feinberg, the larger Northwestern community, and beyond.

Our February speaker was Dr. Igor J. Koralnik, Archibald Church Professor of Neurology, Chief of the Division of Neuro-Infectious Diseases & Global Neurology, and the Director of the Global Neurology Program with the Institute for Global Health at Northwestern. Dr. Koralnik joined us for a timely discussion on the neurological effects of COVID-19, including the efforts of the Neuro COVID-19 Clinic, recently opened at Northwestern medicine, where he and his team investigate, diagnose and manage neurological symptoms of patients affected by the illness.
