Even though my background in electrical engineering is unusual for a neuroscience graduate student, the department has been supportive in seeing this as asset. I was encouraged to rotate in a number of interdisciplinary labs where I could both apply my particular skills and also grow as a neuroscientist. I really feel that the program prepared me well for the type of research I’m doing today.
An enduring role of the Department of Neurobiology and Anatomy continues to be its commitment to education at several levels within the University structure. This commitment includes extensive participatory and leadership roles in medical, graduate, and undergraduate curricula at the University of Rochester. Faculty in Neurobiology and Anatomy have received a continuous stream of awards for teaching and leadership efforts over the years, including a fifth of all Dean's Teaching Scholars Awards, and recurrent commendations and awards conveyed by students.
