Overview
Education
Neuroscience program at Northwestern University encourages interdisciplinary neuroscience research among six NU-affiliated centers, including in the Feinberg School of Medicine (FSM), Shirley Ryan Ability Lab, and Lurie Children’s Hospital on NU’s Chicago campus, and the Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences (WCAS), McCormick School of Engineering, and the School of Communication on the Evanston campus.
NUIN faculty pursue a broad range of research interests including molecular and developmental neuroscience, cellular physiology, cognition and systems neuroscience, and medical or 'translational' research. Training in research is supplemented with core and elective coursework, mentorship, teaching and other professional development opportunities.
This program attracts applicants from a broad array of academic backgrounds, including neuroscience, biology, computer science, chemistry, engineering, physics, and psychology. Our curriculum is designed to embrace this diversity while also providing intensive training in fundamental principles of neuroscience.
