Neurosciences Faculty

UC San Diego’s Department of Neurosciences is among the nation’s largest and represents a breadth of disciplines and specialties spanning neurosciences research as well as adult and child neurology. The interaction between clinicians and translational scientists assists in cross-fertilization of ideas that push the envelope of science related to patient care and that advance understanding of nervous system function in health and disease.
