An Emerging World-Class Center for Treatment & Research

Founded in 2016, with a desire to improve the lives of individuals and families affected by neurological and psychiatric disease, the James J. and Miriam B. Mulva Clinic for the Neurosciences is advancing patient care and neuroscience research.

Research, translational as well as clinical, is the cornerstone of the Mulva Clinic for the Neurosciences. Novelty is built into new therapies, drugs and health technologies to benefit the community.

Areas of Focus

The Mulva Clinic for the Neurosciences brings together skilled clinicians who provide comprehensive, interdisciplinary care through a team-based practice at UT Health Austin, the clinical practice of Dell Medical School, and a network of partner hospitals that diagnose, treat and manage conditions affecting the brain and central nervous system.

Since neurological disorders affect each person differently, the Mulva Clinic team engages patients early in the care process to understand their goals and lifestyle. By doing so, the care team is able to provide individualized care pathways that address the whole person.

The Mulva Clinic treats bipolar, depression and cognitive disorders, as well as multiple sclerosis and neuroimmune disorders through its own specialized clinics:

The Mulva Clinic’s hospital partners include UT Health Austin Pediatric Neurosciences at Dell Children’s and UT Health Austin Pediatric Psychiatry at Dell Children’s, as well as multisite Ascension Seton hospitals, including the Ascension Seton Brain and Spine Care Institute.

The Mulva Clinic for the Neurosciences encompasses three departments — neurology, neurosurgery, and psychiatry and behavioral sciences — that conduct multidisciplinary research in the field of neurosciences within Dell Med and its training facilities. It also partners with University of Texas researchers and companies who are at the top of their fields in molecular bioscience, addiction, computational health, memory and much more.

The product of this teamwork is a creative environment where experts innovate together on meaningful solutions to improve care. Information about current research at the Mulva Clinic for the Neurosciences can be found on its specific research website.

Partnering With the Community: Georgetown Brain Health Study

The residents of Georgetown, a midsized suburb just north of Austin, are participating in a longitu­dinal, multigenerational research study to understand how medical and lifestyle interventions might affect the incidence and progression of neuro­degenerative disease. The Georgetown Brain Health Study plans to recruit over 5,000 diverse individuals to the study; the work is especially significant because large population cohort studies such as this are limited in this area.
