Expanding the Borders of Education


The UW Neuroscience Program offers an interdepartmental education and research experience leading to the Ph.D. degree in neuroscience. Our goal is to is provide students with the necessary background to be broadly trained research neuroscientists. Special strengths of the program are faculty commitment to student education and research training and highly individualized programs of research and study. Faculty assistance and research facilities are readily available to meet the needs of individual students.

A particular emphasis of the program is the utilization of novel mammalian and nonmammalian species for neurobiological studies. Student and faculty members work employs diverse methodology, including neurophysiology, neuroanatomy, western blots and coimmunoprecepitation, immunohistochemistry, and various behavioral test procedures. Student-faculty interactions are fostered through the weekly seminar in Neuroscience.
