The Program in Neuroscience, administered through the Division of Medical Sciences, is one of the five offered interdisciplinary programs leading to the Ph.D. degree in Medical Sciences through the Faculty of Arts and Sciences of Harvard University.
The Program in Neuroscience is an interdepartmental program that links basic science and clinical faculty throughout the Harvard community. Established in 1981, the program is an outgrowth of theDepartment of Neurobiology. Founded in 1966, The Department of Neurobiology, with its multidisciplinary research laboratories and a series of didactic core courses helped to establish the field of modern Neurobiology. The Program in Neuroscience was created in recognition that Neuroscience at Harvard had grown far beyond the borders of the Department of Neurobiology.
The current Neuroscience Program faculty is a diverse group of about one hundred investigators. Faculty research interests include cellular, molecular, developmental, genetic, systems, behavioral, immunological, neurological, and psychiatric approaches to the Nervous System. Particular focus is put on ion channels, synaptic function, neuronal development and differentiation, neuronal aging and degeneration, and visual CNS pathways. Understanding the pathophysiology of diseases of the Nervous System is another important focus of the program. Interactions between basic science and clinical laboratories have led to significant advances in our understanding of several major neurological diseases, including Muscular Dystrophy, Huntington‘s Disease, Epilepsy, and Alzheimer‘s Disease.
