Neurobiology

Over 100 investigators at Rutgers and UMDNJ-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School study problems in neurobiology extending from neural development, the molecular biology of nerve cells, axon targeting, and the molecular mechanisms of learning and memory, to the molecular basis of neurological disorders.

The Keck Center for Collaborative Neuroscience is a world-class research center, with state of the art DNA chip technology, confocal microscopy, advanced computer imaging technology and stem cell research facilities for the study and treatment of spinal cord injuries.

Laboratories in the Rutgers Department of Cell Biology and Neuroscience study problems relating to the molecular mechanisms of vesicle trafficking, intracellular targeting of neuronal proteins, cell signaling, the role of calcium channels in the regulation of synaptic transmission.

Laboratories in the UMDNJ-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School Department of Neuroscience and Cell Biology examine mechanisms of nerve cell targeting and neural development.
