Welcome to Cell Biology, Neurobiology and Anatomy.      

Our department is committed to training graduate students to be competent and competitive in pursuing an academic research and/or teaching career.  The faculty strength is in eukaryotic cell biology with a strong emphasis in contemporary research problems in neurobiology, immunology and neuroimmunology.

The main mission of the Department of Cell Biology, Neurobiology and Anatomy is to develop a comprehensive educational and research program that extends and transmits fundamental knowledge in cell biology, neurobiology and anatomy.  Such an experience is provided by a faculty committed to excellence in research, teaching and service to students in the Stritch School of Medicine and the Graduate School.

The program will foster an academic environment that will enable students to lead productive, creative and ethical careers in the fields of cell biology, neurobiology and anatomy.  Graduates will be competent researchers in the biomedical sciences.  They also will be recognized as individuals who are capable of teaching gross anatomy, developmental biology, cell biology, histology and neuroscience to students in the health sciences.
