The Neuroscience Graduate Program (NGP) is a dynamic, collaborative and multidisciplinary program focused on current neuroscience concepts and approaches to train and award students Ph.D. or M.S. degrees in Neuroscience. It is one of six programs coordinated through the Molecular and Biomedical Sciences Umbrella.<br><br>The mission of the NGP is to engage, educate and mentor students to become independent neuroscientists who are adept at advancing fundamental and translational research on the brain and disease of the nervous system. Because NGP faculty come from different Colleges and Departments across campus, the resulting expertise and collaborative environment offers our students exceptional opportunities to receive training in a variety of perspectives, approaches and model organisms. Research areas include: neurochemistry, neuropharmacology and drug design, cellular neurobiology, physiology and biophysics, genetics, behavioral neuroscience, computational neuroscience and the neurobiology of disease.
