Neuroscience Faculty

Memorial to the Fathers of Neuroscience On these pages you will find references to the UIC faculty who are active in the Neuroscience program.

Faculty who are members of the Program are listed in the table below. The names of faculty who are presently mentors or who have indicated their willingness to serve as mentors (i.e. those who can presently accept new students into their laboratories for dissertation research) are bolded. Faculty who primarly serve in teaching and support roles are those who presently are not taking new students into their laboratories but continue to play a significant role as advisors and educators in the Program. Students should always discuss these issues with the individual faculty and the Director of Graduate Studies when choosing mentors and advisors for research rotations or dissertations.

Click on the faculty's name to see a short description of his/her primary and secondary research specialization, their home Department, and a short description of his or her research interests, including a short list of recent publications. Each name is linked to the faculty's Departmental home page when available. There you should be able to find more detailed information on the individual's academic interests. Or choose the Faculty link to the left to scroll through these faculty profiles.
