The BME program is great because it is so well integrated with other departments. My advisor has appointments in both BME and Neurobiology and Anatomy which has given me a chance to get perspective from both engineers and biologists. It has really added alot of depth to the way I think about my work. It has also given me a chance to learn about a much wider variety of work in both BME and neuroscience.
An enduring role of the Department of Neurobiology and Anatomy continues to be its commitment to education at several levels within the University structure. This commitment includes extensive participatory and leadership roles in medical, graduate, and undergraduate curricula at the University of Rochester. Faculty in Neurobiology and Anatomy have received a continuous stream of awards for teaching and leadership efforts over the years, including a fifth of all Dean's Teaching Scholars Awards, and recurrent commendations and awards conveyed by students.
