Neuroscience Graduate Program at UCSF
In addition to the 70 laboratories of Neuroscience Program faculty, Neuroscience students may carry out their thesis studies in any of the over 120 additional labs affiliated with Herbert W. Boyer Program in Biological Sciences (PIBS). PIBS is an umbrella entity comprising five separate graduate programs, created to give students access to the broadest possible range of research and to encourage interactions among faculty and students in different disciplines. PIBS sponsors many interdisciplinary activities designed to promote creative and interdisciplinary scientific research.
The faculty who participate in the Neuroscience graduate program are listed below. You may find more information about any faculty member by clicking on their name.
