Department of Neurobiology & Anatomy

The Department of Neurobiology and Anatomy at the University of Utah is committed to excellence in both teaching and research. The vigorous and highly collaborative research programs of our faculty are recognized in the areas of neuroscience, developmental biology, stem cell biology and regeneration, neural disease and repair.

We are strongly committed to medical training, and also support graduate teaching at the doctoral level, emphasizing both research excellence and professional development. Graduate Students enter through the Neuroscience or Molecular Biology programs, and join the department in their second year after a year of laboratory rotations and core courses.
