The Molecular Neuroscience Program is an interdepartmental program with a faculty of more than 40 investigators with a primary interest in neurobiological processes related to human disease. Faculty members are drawn from all basic science disciplines and encompass a wide range of research interests.

Strengths of the multidisciplinary and multicampus-based program include:

  • Autoimmune diseases affecting the nervous system

  • Calcium regulation and signaling

  • Computational analysis and neural networks

  • Growth factor mediated signal transduction and cell death

  • Mechanisms of vesicular transport in exocytosis and endocytosis

  • Molecular biology and biophysics of membrane receptors and channels

  • Molecular genetics and mechanisms of neurodegenerative disease

  • Neural development and regeneration

  • Neural networks

  • Receptor pharmacology

  • Scaffolding and signaling proteins

  • Three-dimensional imaging of nervous system structure and function

 

Director's Welcome

"Our neuroscience faculty comprises more than 30 internationally recognized scientists and clinician-scientists employing state-of-the-art techniques in well-equipped laboratories. " more...
