The goal of this program is to provide an institutional training program that combines a broadly based curricular training in Neuroscience with research training focused upon neuroscience-oriented approaches to substance abuse.
The PNI Training Program's goal is to train researchers who will be able to experimentally study problems related to substance abuse at either a more fundamental level (e.g., cellular or molecular biology) and/or at a more global level (e.g., systems or whole animal/human) pharmacology, immunology, infectious diseases or behavioral neuroscience related to drug abuse and addiction.
