Neuroscience Research and Education
UAB offers multiple paths to careers in the neuroscience workforce. Students may find their calling as clinicians or clinician-scientists working with patients in any number of neuro-related specialties including memory disorders, epilepsy, neurodegeneration, multiple sclerosis, and concussion. Students may also find their calling with fundamental science, elucidating the mysteries of the brain and nervous system using specialized laboratory techniques mastered in the research lab.
Community: Neuroscience Cafe
The CNC supports and collaborates with many community organizations. Our community commitment can be seen in the Neuroscience Cafe events at the Homewood, Hoover and Mountain Brook Libraries. Once a month at each library, neuroscientists and clinicians present and discuss various topics in neuroscience. Past topics include Parkinson's disease, depression, and autism. Join us each month to learn more about the UAB neuroscience research happening in your community.
