The primary goal of UVA’s Research Training in the Neuroendocrinology program is to provide outstanding early-postdoctoral research training for tomorrow’s independent scientists in the various fields of neuroendocrinology.

Neuroendocrinology is a rapidly expanding, interdisciplinary field that encompasses behavior, growth, appetite, metabolism, reproduction and neural function.

We believe that hands-on performance of in-depth research side-by-side with an experienced mentor, in the context of a rich and nurturing environment, is the most important component of our program. Our program offers an array of research opportunities, all related to a common theme: interactions among endocrinology/metabolism and neurological systems.
