Overview

The Neuroscience Theme at The University of Alabama at Birmingham provides training opportunities in multiple and contemporary areas of neuroscience research — from fundamental discovery science at the molecular, cellular, systems, and behavioral levels, to translational studies in cellular and animal models of diseases of the nervous system.

Where will this degree take you?

Unraveling the mysteries of the brain and finding cures for devastating nervous system disorders need an integrated knowledge of the cellular and molecular bases of brain and spinal cord development and function, generation and characterization of cellular and animal models of brain disorders, and the design of novel and rational therapeutic approaches.

Training from the Neuroscience Theme at UAB will prepare you to move seamlessly into your future career. Graduates are currently leaders in academia and industry in different areas of fundamental and translational research. Some of our alumni are also successfully engaged in educational positions as well as scientific consultants playing a critical role in health policy decisions.
