Message From the Program Director

We offer degrees with a strong focus on developing independent, critical thinkers equipped to lead in neuroscience research. Our curriculum balances foundational neuroscience knowledge with training in cutting-edge methodologies. Our faculty have strengths in neurodevelopment, neurodegeneration, addiction, brain-body interaction, and sleep disorders, and provide expert mentorship alongside access to advanced tools—from systems neuroscience and single-cell genomics to brain imaging and emerging AI technologies.

We foster a collaborative, supportive environment where students grow both scientifically and professionally. Whether your interests lie in basic, translational, or clinical neuroscience, we’re excited to help you shape your path forward.
