Definition

Translational Neuroscience is the process of using all technological advances to bring novel therapies with measurable outcomes to patients with neurological diseases. The concept is derived from the need to translate the wealth of basic understanding about neuroscience, neuropathogenesis, and neuroengineering into a trajectory that will realistically lead to therapies and measurable benefit to individuals at risk for or suffering from neurological disease. Special emphasis pathway for PhD and Postdoctoral training programs. Prepares researchers for productive collaborative work with other clinicians and researchers aimed at advances in the clinical neurology and community setting.
