| Graduate & Post-Doctoral Training Program Graduate students in neuroscience, medical students, and postdoctoral fellows (with either MDs or PhDs) receive training in a range of molecular, developmental and systems neuroscience approaches to the analysis of cortical circuitry in both primate and human brain. Opportunities are available for studies in the normal functional architecture of primate neocortex, the postnatal development of this circuitry, its disruption in schizophrenia and other brain disorders, and animal models of the disease process. Interested individuals should contact David A. Lewis, M.D. |

| Post-Baccalaureate Training Program As a training laboratory, the Translational Neuroscience Program offers excellent opportunities for post-baccalaureates to gain research experience in neuroscience and medicine before pursuing graduate or medical studies. Trainees spend 2 or more years participating in world-class research spanning a range of neuroscience approaches and techniques to the analysis of cortical circuitry structure, function and development in animals and humans. Interested individuals should contact David A. Lewis, M.D. |

Undergraduate Training Program
The Translational Neuroscience Program has a history of providing excellent first-hand research experience in neuroscience and medicine for undergraduate students. Undergraduate students work with a team of mentors on a specific research project acquiring skills in experimental design, laboratory technique, data analysis and scientific writing. During their training, students typically complete an honors thesis, attend a national scientific meeting, and co-author a scientific publication. The program also provides support and advice for applying for undergraduate fellowships like the NIMH Undergraduate Research Training Fellowship and for preparing applications for graduate or professional school. Interested undergraduates should contact the program director, David A. Lewis, M.D. |
