WELCOME TO THE NEUROSCIENCE GRADUATE PROGRAM
The PhD. and M.S. graduate Program in Neuroscience at The University of Montana was approved by the Board of Regents in March 2004 and began accepting students in the Fall semester of 2004. This new program is a direct result of the dramatic increase in the number of neuroscience-based research faculty that have been recruited to The University over the past few years and their desire to design a graduate curriculum that builds on existing programs in Pharmacology, Biochemistry, Structural Biology, Toxicology, and Chemistry in a manner that is specifically tailored to the Neurosciences.
Administratively housed in the Department of Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Sciences, faculty from the Division of Biological Sciences, and the Department of Chemistry are also active participants in program. Graduate training is also critical to the mission of the campus' Center for Structural and Functional Neuroscience, which is as a NIH/NCRR-funded Center for Biomedical Research Excellence. Multidisciplinary by design, this diverse group of researchers provide students with considerable options in terms of the faculty they work with and the novel approaches they can learn to better understand how the CNS functions. While research within the neuroscience graduate program touches upon a wide range of disciplines, there is an especially strong emphasis at the neurochemical, protein, and cellular levels, particularly as related to investigating mechanisms of neuronal communication and how alterations in these processes contribute to CNS disease and injury.
