Project Ideas for Doctor of Philosophy in Neuroscience

Cross-scale brain exploration forging therapies and neuro-tech futures.

🏛 Introduction

UIUC’s Neuroscience PhD bridges molecular circuits and cognitive computation. Candidates map whole-brain connectomes with light-sheet microscopy, engineer closed-loop optogenetics for Parkinson’s models, and decode intent from intracortical arrays in the Beckman NeuroTech Hub. Coursework in neuroethics and translational design ensures discoveries reach clinics responsibly.
