解剖与神经生物学哲学博士

过去50年来，本系在神经科学方面的强大研究计划及其创新发现获得国际认可。这些发现包括：表征神经元的精细结构成分（脊柱，轴突，髓鞘），对自闭症和阅读障碍的神经解剖学特征进行开创性描述，发现皮质神经元的保存性但在正常衰老过程中对髓磷脂的损害以及映射皮质回路的组成，组织和连通性。在我们实验室的教授，博士和硕士学位学生中，我们使用最先进的方法进行研究，并通过我们屡获殊荣的教授领导的教育部独特的Vesalius计划，对学生进行了培训，使其成为生物医学领域的高效，创新型教育工作者科学。
This 64 credit doctoral program includes courses in Anatomy and Neuroscience that are offered within this department or are offered by related departments on the Medical Campus. An integral part of the program is the requirement for students to participate as Teaching Fellows in Medical and Graduate school courses as part of our Vesalius Teaching Apprenticeship. The PhD program is designed to produce well-rounded biomedical scientists who expect to include both research and teaching in their career.<br><br> The PhD curriculum consists of required courses, seminars and electives as well as Dissertation Research. Overview of the 64-credit PhD program:<br><br>Required Courses: 30-32 credits<br>Electives and/or Research: 32-34 credits<br>Optional: Vesalius Module<br><br>Learning Outcomes<br>The goals of the Doctor of Anatomy & Neurobiology Program are to provide trainees with the knowledge base and skills to become proficient in basic biomedical research and to develop outstanding pedagogic skills. Successful completion of these goals enables our students to pursue further studies in the biomedical sciences including teaching, research, and health care. At the conclusion of the program students will be able to:<br><br>Demonstrate an understanding of Anatomy, Neuroscience, Statistics, and other graduate-level elective anatomical and neuroscience topics through successful completion of our core curriculum.<br>Demonstrate proficiency in pedagogical skills in the context of the Teaching in Biomedical Sciences course and through teaching fellowships in advanced biomedical courses (as listed above).<br>Demonstrate proficiency in scientific data acquisition and analysis through mentored research in one of the department's research labs.<br>Describe and interpret scientific findings of their laboratory research study through the development of a written, publication-quality thesis.<br>Demonstrate an understanding of the professional skills (including an ability to read and interpret scientific literature) required of biomedical scientists and educators.
