Overview

About the program

Neuroscience has reached an extraordinarily exciting stage. Disciplines such as physics, biology, genetics, chemistry, psychology, anatomy, medicine, computer science, biomedical engineering, and neuroengineering, to name a few, are now powering discoveries at a rapid pace that reveal the basis of how we learn, think, remember, love and dream. These discoveries provide hope to millions with brain disorders that better diagnoses and treatments are within reach.

The Stiles-Nicholson Brain Institute developed and oversees the interdisciplinary Neuroscience Graduate Program (NGP) that unites scientists, educators and students across multiple Colleges and Departments at Florida Atlantic University where neuroscience faculty pursue their research, as well as the internationally-recognized research institute, Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience, into a one of a kind training opportunity for those in the early stages of their neuroscientific careers.
