The Neuroscience Graduate Program is a multidisciplinary interdepartmental program. The program is anchored in the Department of Neuroscience and Physiology but composed of faculty across multiple departments at SUNY Upstate Medical University.

This program awards:

• PhD in Neuroscience

The overall goal of the program is to provide students with broad foundational knowledge in neurosciences while enabling students to tailor their curriculum toward their specific research interests and areas of expertise. We offer a collaborative, supportive and comprehensive environment in neurosciences focused on training students to become independent scientists.

Program research has strengths in neurodevelopment and neurodevelopmental disorders, neuropsychiatric disorders and diseases, addiction, neurodegenerative disorders and neural trauma, aging, sensory and cognitive systems, eye development and disease, and neuro-oncology and neuroimmunology disorders.
