Student Resources

The Translational Neuroscience Laboratory is located at the University of California, Irvine (UCI), which has been named the #1 best college in the nation according to Money magazine. UCI boasts a robust research program, which supports live-changing discoveries and innovations.

UCI is located in the heart of beautiful Orange County, nestled between Los Angeles and San Diego counties and just five miles from SoCal’s sunny beaches.

Students experience a vibrant research community with access to events, state-of-the-art resources, and top faculty.

The Translational Neuroscience Laboratory has been described as a ‘home away from home.’ It is a diverse and welcoming community that encourages individual interests and rigorous science. If you are interested in joining the lab, please visit our about, meet the lab, and join the lab pages.
