Medical Neuroscience Graduate Program

More than 75 faculty members are associated with Stark Neurosciences Research Institute, and these researchers’ interests span the breadth of the neurosciences—basic molecular topics through applied sciences aimed at understanding diseases and solving clinical problems. These accomplished clinicians and investigators are members of the basic and clinical sciences departments in IU School of Medicine and IUPUI. Stark Neurosciences Research Institute houses research groups focused broadly on the biology of the nervous system with a focus on its disorders, disease, injury and repair. These programs have an emphasis on translation of basic science advances into new therapies.

The training environment includes strong faculty-student interactions and strong cross department-discipline interactions. This program facilitates a collaborative culture—a vital component of today’s interdisciplinary nature of biomedical science research. The Stark Neurosciences Research Institute training facility is located in a state-of-the-art research building, which is adjacent to the clinical neuroscience departments.
