The Department of Neurobiology and Anatomy at Wake Forest University School of Medicine offers a Ph.D. degree tailored for a research career in the biomedical sciences. The departmental program has effectively two Ph.D. tracks, one with an emphasis on developmental neurobiology (how the nervous system develops, organizes, and repairs itself) and another with an emphasis on systems neuroscience and multi-sensory processes (how the responses of neurons are related to the sensory world and to behavior). All students admitted to the program are fully supported financially. The program admits between two and six new students every Fall, and there are 21 full-time participating faculty.
