The Graduate Program in Neuroscience & Physiology has experienced some major changes over the past year. There is a new program office located in the Smilow building, room 501B in which Dr. Stewart Bloomfield serves as coordinator and Dr. Eric Lang is graduate advisor. This office now coordinates all graduate courses and neuroscience seminars offered at the medical school as well as joint efforts with the Center for Neural Science (CNS) at the Washington Square campus. In addition, there has been further integration of the courses offered by the Graduate Program in Neuroscience & Physiology and the CNS graduate program. At present, the core neuroscience courses in cellular, systems, developmental, and translational neuroscience are team-taught by both faculties and attended by students within both graduate programs. Further integration of the training programs will continue over the next year in the areas of student recruitment and lab rotations. The ultimate goal is to create a seamless integration of the neuroscience graduate programs at NYU.
