 Department
Chair: Don M. Gash, Ph.D.
Welcome to Anatomy &
Neurobiology's Web site. We are a dynamic and growing Department of
31 faculty members, 13 scientists, 8 postdoctoral students, 23
graduate students and 64 staff members. Our commitment is to
excellence in research and teaching. The research focus of the
Department is on neuroscience, with over six million dollars a year
in grant and contract support for biomedical research on the brain,
spinal cord and peripheral nervous system. Four of our faculty
direct University Centers with strong programmatic efforts in the
neurosciences, including:
In addition, many of our faculty
are affiliated with the
Sanders Brown Center on Aging and Gerontology. For additional
information on the faculty and their research interests go to our
Faculty Research page.
We are also committed to
providing outstanding training at the Undergraduate, Graduate and
Post Doctoral level in neuroscience. Our program emphasizes
laboratory research complemented by a broad range of research
experiences for undergraduates, graduate courses, seminars and
workshops. For research opportunities for undergraduates, see our
Summer Research
page or contact our Director of Undergraduate Studies,
Dr. Samuel Franklin. All
graduate students receive a competitive research stipend. Further
information on the graduate program is available at our
Graduate Studies site. Post Doctoral fellowships are awarded
through individual laboratories and interested candidates are
encouraged to contact faculty members directly about opportunities
in their research group.
Our twin mission, along with
research, is undergraduate and professional education. Our
commitment is to achieve the highest standards in professional
education, emphasizing teaching methods designed to enhance the
development of lifelong learning and problem-solving skills. We
offer instruction in human anatomy, cell and tissue biology,
embryology and neuroscience for students in the medical, dental and
allied health science professions and pre-professional undergraduate
students.
I hope we
have provided the information you needed. If you have additional
questions or comments, please
contact me directly by e-mail.
