Masters in Neuroimaging and Informatics Program (http://niin.usc.edu)
In the one-year Master’s in Neuroimaging and Informatics program at the University of Southern California, students attend lectures and complete hands-on activities to learn best practices and cutting edge techniques for MRI scan acquisition and analyses, “big data” management, and more. Many of our previous students have gone on to attend prestigious PhD or medical programs, or obtain exciting research positions.
Neuroscience Graduate Program (https://ngp.usc.edu)
PhD students in this highly competitive interdisciplinary NIH-designated T32 Neuroscience Training Program join a wide range of faculty from a variety of academic backgrounds to study questions spanning the spectrum of modern neuroscience research.
Imaging Genetics Center (IGC; http://igc.ini.usc.edu)
Part of the Mark and Mary Stevens Neuroimaging and Informatics Institute, the Imaging Genetics Center investigates how genes and the environment affect the brain. The IGC develops and uses mathematically innovative and highly computational imaging methods to map variation in the brain and expand our understanding of brain health and disease.
Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center at USC (ADRC; http://adrc.usc.edu)
The ADRC conducts research on memory problems and aging. Its goals are to understand the biological changes that may precede worsening memory, and to assess whether new treatments - including drugs - may be helpful in preventing cognitive decline.
