Professor Duncan Leitch is part of two of the six teams of researchers to win funding in the first year of Scialog: Neurobiology and Changing Ecosystems

Six cross-disciplinary teams of researchers from the United States and Canada have won funding in the first year of Scialog: Neurobiology and Changing Ecosystems, a three-year initiative that aims to spark new science exploring neurobiological response to rapid and extensive human-caused environmental changes. Professor Leitch is amongst two teams, “Comparative TRPV1 Function in Sensory Adaptability and Resilience to Global Warming” and “Thermal Priming and Parental Care: Investigating Conserved Neural Pathways of Parental Care Plasticity in Response to Heat”

Educational Programs

The department is proud of its long history in training the next generation of thinkers and leaders in science and medicine. The department offers an Undergraduate Program (B.S. in Physiological Science) as well as a two-year, research-oriented Master’s Program (M.S. in Physiological Science). We are a co-founder and home to the Molecular, Cellular, and Integrative Physiology (MCIP) Interdepartmental Ph.D. Program, which is one of 11 Ph.D.-granting programs in the Graduate Programs in Biosciences (GPB) at UCLA. The department is also highly engaged with the Undergraduate Neuroscience Interdepartmental Program (UNSIDP). Specifically, IBP provides administrative expertise and support for UNSIDP’s leadership; staff; instruction; curriculum; courses; teaching assistants; and financial support for selected activities.
