The University of Maryland, Baltimore, offers an inter-disciplinary program of study leading to a Ph.D. degree in Neuroscience. The program offers research training in a wide range of brain sciences, including Cellular, Molecular and Integrative Neuroscience. Program faculty consist of more than 80 neuroscientists who investigate a wide range of issues, at levels ranging from ion channels and single cells to complex subsystems of the mammalian brain and regulation of behavior. Research programs include studies focusing on Biological Mechanisms of Learning & Memory, Synaptic Physiology & Plasticity, Developmental Neurobiology, Pain Mechanisms, Neuroprotection & Brain Injury, Mechanisms of Dementia and Psychiatric Disorders, Brain and Reproductive Function, Genetic Basis of Brain Functions, Taste and Smell, Drug Discovery, Neuromuscular Functions & Disorders.

The inter-departmental Program in Neuroscience has laboratories located in the Medical, Dental and Pharmacy Schools, and the Maryland Psychiatric Research Center. Our campus is located less than a ten minute walk from the revitalized Inner Harbor pavilions, the National Aquarium and the Orioles' and Ravens' stadiums.

Our graduate program coordinator is Jennifer Aumiller. If you have any questions about the Program in Neuroscience not answered by this web site, please don't hesitate to contact her.
