Ph.D in Biomedical Science - Neuroscience and Neurological Disorders Track

University of Toledo

The Department of Neurosciences at The University of Toledo is growing - thanks to an exciting affiliation between the College of Medicine and Life Sciences and ProMedica, a local, nonprofit health-care system. This partnership has allowed us to: Strengthen our research mission Provide more resources for our students Increase funded labs and faculty to mentor students Our goal is to integrate molecular, cellular and systems neuroscience to uncover nervous system function, how it goes awry and develop treatments for diseases of the nervous system. The Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders doctoral program offers an interdisciplinary course of studies. We train Ph.D. students for independent, creative careers in biomedical research and teaching. top reasons to study neurosciences and neurological disorders at UToledo Exceptional faculty and resources. Nationally recognized, National Institutes of Health-funded faculty members serve as research mentors. Our faculty members come from myriad UToledo departments, including Neurosciences, Neurology, Physiology and Pharmacology, Psychiatry, and Radiation Therapy. Funded research. A number of recent UToledo doctoral students were awarded highly competitive NIH pre-doctoral fellowships for their research training. Funded travel. The Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders program provides $1,000 to Ph.D. students to attend and present their research at national and international meetings. Dual degrees. UToledo offers a dual M.D./Ph.D. degree. Students typically complete the first two years of medical school, then the doctoral degree, followed by their last two years of medical school. Neuroscience doctoral students also may simultaneously pursue a J.D., M.P.H. or M.B.A. Consult with the directors of each graduate degree program for further information.
