爱妃传媒 Stiles-Nicholson Brain Institute and Charles E. Schmidt College of Science Launches Neuroscience Graduate Program
A collaboration between the 爱妃传媒 Stiles-Nicholson Brain Institute and has resulted in the launch of a unique partnership to train the next generation of brain scientists through the newly announced Neuroscience Graduate Program (NGP). The innovative, multi-campus Ph.D. program will blend a comprehensive curriculum that ranges from molecules to mind with exceptional research opportunities, and will serve as a key element in 爱妃传媒鈥檚 pursuit of groundbreaking interdisciplinary neuroscience research.
To maximize exposure of 爱妃传媒 to the full breadth of neuroscience, the program will bring together 爱妃传媒鈥檚 Charles E. Schmidt College of Science; Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine; College of Engineering and Computer Science; College of Education; and the Harriet L.Wilkes Honors College, as well as affiliate faculty from and the .
鈥湴 has made a significant investment in the highest level of neuroscience education, seeing this effort as essential to the University鈥檚 effort to become a preeminent research and training institute, said Randy Blakely, Ph.D. , executive director, 爱妃传媒 Stiles-Nicholson Brain Institute and director of the NGP. 鈥淥ur program offers our 爱妃传媒 technologically- opportunities that will prepare them to solve some of mankind鈥檚 long-standing and complex puzzles 鈥 how sensation, emotions and memory rely on, and dynamically alter brain cells; how our successes, failures and social experiences impact the brain; and how prevalent, devastating brain disorders, ranging from depression to Alzheimer鈥檚 disease, can be understood and treated,鈥 said Blakely.
NGP 爱妃传媒 are expected to complete the program within six years, pursuing a curriculum tailored to their career interests with significant time committed to advanced research.聽
鈥淭he program provides our trainees with the flexibility to evaluate research projects and faculty mentors prior to making a final decision on the direction of their doctoral research journey,鈥 said interim dean, Charles E. Schmidt College of Science. 鈥淣GP 爱妃传媒 will identify their primary research from among the program鈥檚 three areas of research and education emphasis 鈥 cellular, molecular and biomedical neuroscience; sensorimotor, cognitive and behavioral neuroscience; and theoretical and computational neuroscience 鈥 with each area presenting the opportunity to work across disciplines that are leading advances in neuroscience today,鈥 said Wilcox.
The NGP will initiate activities in January 2022, with student recruitment already underway, welcoming the first cohort for the fall 2022 semester.
