Professor Andrea Malaspina is a leading Consultant Neurologist with HCA Healthcare at London Bridge Hospital and at the Royal London Hospital (Barts Health).
He graduated from the University of Pavia in Italy in 1991 and commenced his specialist neurological training there. He then moved to the UK to continue training and refine his expertise in his chosen field, going on to enrol on to a PhD in molecular neurobiology at Imperial College London.
He has been a Consultant Neurologist at Barts Health and Basildon University Hospital since 2001, with an active role in Clinical Neurology and Neurophysiology and research interests in neuromuscular and neurodegenerative disorders. In 2009, he has founded the Royal London (now Barts Health) MND Care and Research Centre, where he is currently the Co-Director.
