Department of Neurobiology & Anatomy
The Department of Neurobiology & 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.
Chi-Bin Chien, Ph.D. 11/3/1965 ~ 12/2/2011
Our friend and colleague Chi-Bin Chien died on December 2, 2011 after a long and courageous fight with cancer. He was Professor of Neurobiology and Anatomy and had been a member of the faculty since 1998. His research was focused on the molecular mechanisms underlying neural connectivity, vascular guidance and eye morphogenesis using zebrafish as a model system. He was a talented scientist, a dedicated mentor, and a wonderful colleague. His generous nature and positive spirit will be missed by all.
