This spring, GUMC will welcome our first “cluster hires” cohort, an important, new strategic approach for strengthening health sciences at GUMC while complementing our existing research strengths.
The four new researchers are unified around a theme titled “Integrative Approaches to Neuroplasticity Across the Lifespan,” in alignment with two GUMC priority areas - mind and brain, and age and age-related diseases. The recruitment effort was also designed to support GUMC’s commitment to reflect a more diverse faculty.
The new faculty members will work in four departments: Pharmacology and Physiology, Biochemistry and Molecular & Cellular Biology, Neurology and Neuroscience. Learn more here.
