UAB is launching a new PhD Program in Neuroengineering. This innovative program will be jointly offered by the School of Engineering and School of Medicine.
It is a first-of-its kind program in the state of Alabama and one of the only freestanding neuroengineering doctoral programs in the country.
This program integrates advanced topics in such areas as neurophysiology, neural dynamics, neuropathology, systems engineering, computational analysis, advanced imaging, and data analysis. By combining faculty expertise in neurobiology, neuroscience, engineering and the sciences we are training a new generation of neuroengineers to advance understanding of neurodegenerative disorders and other brain diseases and develop novel therapeutics, neuroprosthetics, and tools to restore lost brain function and improve patient outcomes.
UPDATE: Final program approval received in June, 2020. Click here for more information.
