Inflammation in Neurological Conditions Symposium The Centre for Discovery Brain Science and the Muir Maxwell Epilepsy Centre are delighted to host a mini-symposium in memory of Dr. Thomas TS Ingram on Dec 12, 2019 between 1-4 in the Hugh Robson Lecture Theatre. There will be drinks and nibbles afterwards. Dr Thomas TS Ingram was a Reader in Paediatric Neurology in Edinburgh and one of the founding members of the British Paediatric Neurology Association. He strongly believed in an inter-disciplinary approach to his work as a doctor and researcher.
