ExcellenceOur 16 Core Facilities are state-of-the art resources that provide training, equipment, and outsourcing for diverse needs such as functional imaging, gene sequencing and transgenics, microarray analysis, animal behavior, tissue banking, and advanced microscopy. Such resources allow our students to efficiently integrate multiple disciplines to produce innovative findings. We also have a High Performance Computing Cluster for running complex neural simulations and bioinformatics algorithms. A strong research environment enables our students to become confident, skilled investigators; typically a student will have 2-4 publications at graduation. In the 2009-2010 academic year, our senior graduate students were first authors on 18 published manuscripts and received 12 major funding awards in addition to other honors. Our students' research competes very well for grant funding, as demonstrated by a high rate of success (more than 60%) in obtaining NRSA fellowships. To date, the program has produced 146 alumni, and those that have chosen to stay in research have obtained excellent postdoctoral positions to pursue further training. Because the program is relatively young, the first graduate students have only recently begun to complete their postdoctoral training and enter the job market, and thus far have competed very well for jobs in academia, industry, and research institutes. |
