Dr. Stephanie Leal has been named a Fellow to the Center for the Neurobiology of Learning and Memory (CNLM) at UC Irvine, a multidisciplinary team of scholars spanning the globe. This honor is given to faculty members who were nominated by a current fellow and who received a majority vote during the voting process. The CNLM Fellows represent one of the world’s top “think tanks” in neuroscience. With an average of $20 million each year in federal funding to support high impact research programs, as well as over 10,000 citations per Fellow, they are revolutionizing our understanding of the brain and its disorders, creating innovative neurotechnologies, and improving brain health on a global scale.

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.
