 The Molecular Neuroscience Program was established as an independent graduate school track at Mayo Clinic in 1991 in recognition of the importance of interdisciplinary training for future investigators studying neuronal function in health and disease.
Molecular Neuroscience at Mayo Graduate School is an interdisciplinary program spanning basic-science and clinical departmental boundaries and ranging from fundamental molecular and cellular neuroscience to clinical neurology. Graduate students with a strong biomedical science background are trained in basic and health-related research relevant to neuronal function.
Our exceptional educational and research environment allows Ph.D. students to carry out cutting-edge fundamental and translational research in peripheral and central nervous system cell biology, neuronal development, neurophysiology, neuroimaging, and neurodegenerative disease. Our neuroscience faculty comprises more than 30 internationally recognized scientists and clinician-scientists employing state-of-the-art techniques in well-equipped laboratories.
Graduates of the Molecular Neuroscience Program at Mayo are uniquely prepared to apply molecular, cellular, biochemical and biophysical approaches to fundamental problems in neurobiology and to the improvement of our understanding of the development and treatment of neurological disease.
