Leading Initiatives
Neurosciences
UC Davis MIND Institute, Vision Sciences and the Eye Center, and Pain Medicine
Neurosciences is a key strategic emphasis for UC Davis, and is a campus-wide research area with collaborations across nearly every school and college.
Nearly 50 million people in the U.S. are impacted by neurological, developmental, and ophthalmological disorders, as well as chronic pain. Advances in technology have opened possibilities for faculty in the vision sciences, neurosciences and pain medicine to better understand the brain.
At UC Davis, we seize this unprecedented opportunity to change the course of neurological disease research and treatment.
