Faculty mentors

The 推荐杏吧原创 neuroscience faculty on the faculty mentors page represent the first roster of ENDURE academic year mentors. Each has a strong record of mentoring and is interested in mentoring ENDURE scholars in their research labs. The ENDURE Directors and Program Coordinator will handle the placement of new ENDURE scholars in research labs (so there is no need for applicants to contact these faculty), however, reading about them might help to inform applicants’ statements of research interests.
