Child Neurology Residency Training Program
Neurobiology Program
Faculty in the Neurobiology Program at Boston Children's Hospital are investigating the mechanisms that regulate the key steps in nervous system development with the goal of applying this knowledge to the understanding of disorders of the nervous system that affect children. The program is also actively engaged in the training of the next generation of physicians and scientists in the areas of molecular and developmental neuroscience.
Featured researchers in the Neurobiology Program hold faculty appointments at Harvard Medical School.
