Alina Tu is an incoming Ph.D. Student in UC Irvine’s Interdepartmental Neuroscience Program!


Congratulations to Alina on her recent acceptance as an incoming Ph.D. student at UC Irvine’s Interdepartmental Neuroscience Program (INP)! The INP provides a manner for meeting the diversity and challenges of graduate training in such a broad and influential discipline. Faculty from several departments and schools, whose research in neuroscience is guided by many disciplines, participate in the INP. During her first year, Alina will have the opportunity to rotate through labs within the Neurobiology and Behavior department, allowing her to gain a broad range of experiences and knowledge. Alina aims to continue her research examining the relationship between hippocampal subfield volumes and individual differences in spatial navigation. This is an exciting and important area of research, and we wish Alina all the best as she embarks on this new chapter in her academic journey. Congratulations again, Alina! We are proud of your achievements and look forward to seeing your continued success.
