Welcome from the Chair
 The University of California, San Diego (UCSD) School of Medicine
enjoys a unique structure in which basic scientists, clinicians, and
clinical researchers coexist with in one department. This model is in
large part responsible for propelling UCSD forward by integrating
basic and clinical disciplines.
The Department of Neurosciences is composed of 33 ladder-rank
faculty members, 23 research and project scientists, and 27 faculty
who hold adjunct and joint appointments. Additionally, there are 61
individuals outside the university who participate in our clinical
teaching programs. We are proud that Neurosciences at UCSD ranks
first out of 90 competitors in overall NIH grant funding.Read more...
