Cultivating the future of neuroscience, today

"We are in a new era, a very exciting time in Neuroscience where we are, today, training tomorrow's leaders in the field who will make the discoveries that will conquer brain diseases. Neuroscience graduate students are looking for a place where they can do cutting-edge research. They are also looking for a place that will provide the first important stepping stone for the future of their careers. Mount Sinai offers a nurturing and supportive environment where the student feels, not so much as a student, but more of an apprentice - a place where they can learn how to do research and how to prepare themselves for a 40 or 50 year long career." - Eric J. Nestler, Nash Family Professor of Neuroscience, Director, The Friedman Brain Institute, Dean for Academic and Scientific Affairs
