About

Our program trains students to perform fundamental research in nearly all areas of neuroscience, from basic molecular biology through complex human neurological disorders. Our highly collaborative faculty share strong technology resources, ensuring that students will have the mentoring and equipment to pursue interdisciplinary projects. Additionally, clinical collaborations and mentored rotations in neurology clinics offer the opportunity for translational research. Neuroscience students take coursework in advanced neurobiology topics, and are also taught critical thinking, grant writing, and presentation skills. The Neuroscience program provides networking opportunities for students to interact with world class scientists from all over the world through weekly lunches with our seminar speakers and our annual Brain Aging Research Symposium. We are deeply committed to career development, and our broadly-trained PhD students are prepared to work in academia, government, biotech, the pharmaceutical industry, and more.

The Neuroscience Program celebrates the strengths of people from diverse backgrounds and encourages those underrepresented in STEM to apply.
