Neurobiology stands as one of biology's most captivating disciplines in modern times. Research in medicine, biotechnology, and academia primarily focuses on neurological disorders, molecular processes of brain activity, and behavioral studies. The Neurobiology Concentration delivers core education in brain physiology alongside crucial molecular genetics knowledge, vital for comprehending how genes and proteins influence brain function. The University of Pennsylvania's Biology Department extends a warm welcome. Our initiative strives to equip students with diverse opportunities to investigate the extraordinary variety of biological systems in today's world. Alongside the standard major, learners can choose among six specialized concentrations, each providing focused exposure to theoretical and practical aspects of specific biological fields. Outside coursework, majors can engage in biological research across numerous laboratories throughout Penn's campus, including facilities within the medical school and hospital network.
