| Welcome to Neuroscience at Boston University School of
Medicine. The Medical School has over 50 faculty members in
the neurosciences who are based throughout the Medical
Campus. The School offers a rich, biomedically-based
neuroscience environment in which students can participate
in state-of-the-art neuroscience research.
David H. Farb PhD, Co-Director (email program director)
Shelley J. Russek PhD, Co-Director
The Program in Biomedical Neuroscience
offers a Ph.D. in Neuroscience that covers the complete
spectrum of contemporary neuroscience research, ranging
from developmental and cognitive neuroscience to the
molecular genetics of the nervous system and the
development of synthetic biomolecules that alter the
function of defined receptor populations.
The goal of the Program in Biomedical Neuroscience
is to provide an academic and research environment at the
Boston University School of Medicine in which to train
pre-doctoral students who are committed to careers in
neuroscience. The central element of this program is an
intensive period of full-time research in neuroscience.
Students benefit from and contribute to the active
discipline of neurosciences at the Boston University
School of Medicine.
The Program in Biomedical Neuroscience
gives students a maximum exposure to the important issues
that impact our future ability to treat neurological
diseases.
The Program in Biomedical Neuroscience
is available to students pursuing the PhD or MD/PhD
degree; no Master of Arts degree is offered. Students who
complete the program will be awarded a degree that
indicates their basic science department or program and
the Program in Biomedical Neuroscience.
