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