Program faculty hold appointments in a variety of departments, reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of this training program. A full range of disciplines and approaches to the study of Neuroinflammation and Glial Cell Biology is represented. The outstanding research environment at Rochester is highlighted by significant collaborations among many of these faculty, which can best be appreciated by viewing publication lists on their individual web pages.
