Overview

Neurobiology is focused on the study of the nervous system, and is one of the most rapidly advancing fields in life sciences. Understanding how various living organisms, from fruit flies to humans, interact with their environments and process information in terms of thought and action is indeed crucial for enhancing our knowledge of behavior and cognition in both humans and animals and could also help to address brain disorders that affect a growing segment of the human population.

The Master’s Degree Program in Neurobiology is designed to provide students with Bachelor’s Degrees in biology or biotechnology with an in-depth, multidisciplinary, and integrated knowledge of the anatomical and functional organization of the nervous system. We also welcome students from other scientific backgrounds, such as psychology, chemistry, and physical sciences, to foster cross-disciplinary collaboration.

Our program emphasizes on equipping students with skills in quantitative data acquisition and analysis, which are becoming increasingly essential in contemporary neurobiology research. Additionally, the curriculum focuses on cutting-edge imaging, neurophysiological, behavioral, and pharmaco-genomic technologies.
