Department of Neuroscience
Neuroscience is an interdisciplinary research field aspired to understand how animal brains include our own development, function and age, what governs brain physiological functions such as memory, behavior and cognition and why brains succumb to numerous diseases and disorders.
Neuroscience is one of the key research directions for the School of Life Sciences. The Department of Neuroscience will conduct multi-faceted research covering developmental neuroscience, neurostructural biology, sensory neuroscience, neural physiology and pathology, neural cell homeostasis, as well as cognitive and behavioral neuroscience. Meanwhile, the department will collaborate with multiple fields such as molecular biology, cell biology, structural biology, biophysics and computational biology, so as to promote the development of brain science and other related disciplines. The department is also making efforts to explore an innovative mode of inter-school or inter-department research cooperations, by working together with top neuroscience research institutes at home and abroad, encouraging interdisciplinary collaborations among researchers with science, engineering, and medicine backgrounds.
In the next five to ten years, the Department of Neuroscience will establish a core faculty comprising 20-25 principal investigators, build a brain science research team with unique features and strengths, promote fundamental research in brain science, and provide supports for translational research aiming at treating brain diseases and interfacing human brain and artificial intelligence.
