Training Program in Cellular Neurobiology (Predoctoral and postdoctoral)

This program for postdoctoral trainees, directed by Dr. Tom O'Dell, seeks to expose students to the fundamental problems in neurobiology and then to give them an intensive interdisciplinary train­ing in modern research tech­niques.

Research interests of the training supervisors include membrane biophysics, cellular electrophysiology, molecular neurobiology, developmental neurobiology, intercellular interactions, sensory physiology, and central nervous processing. The program is designed to be flexible, exposing trainees to many different aspects of neurobiology while providing maximal opportunity to pursue a particular research interest. A thorough curriculum of basic science and introductory and specialized neurobiology courses is available, as are specialized lecture and technique courses in a wide variety of related disciplines.
