Neurogenetics applies cutting-edge genetic and genomic techniques to tackle some of biomedicine's most compelling challenges. UCLA stands out as a premier hub for neurogenetics research. The program's scope is remarkable, spanning from single-lab studies on invertebrate models to large-scale interdisciplinary collaborations like the Consortium for Neuropsychiatric Phenomics, which examines complex human traits. The Neurogenetics FAR features a robust training framework, including NIH-supported predoctoral and postdoctoral initiatives in Neurobehavioral Genetics. These programs highlight the FAR's distinctive approach: merging genetic, neural, and behavioral perspectives in neuroscience research, with special attention to nervous system phenotyping across species—from fruit flies to humans—as a unique scientific pursuit. Faculty involved in the NIH-funded training initiatives cover diverse research areas, offering students extensive opportunities. Existing collaborations among program faculty are strengthened through annual retreats, bimonthly seminars, and adaptable core coursework designed for individual student needs.
