World-Class Campus Connections
能力’s 木星 campus is the only place where two quality research institutions are co-located. 自然指数, the definitive ranking source for research institutions, based these results on high impact papers and yearly growth over the past five years. Along with Florida Atlantic University, a Nikon Center of Excellence, these three institutions form an unparalleled research campus for biomedical research. Aspiring marine biologists can intern at 能力's nearby 港分公司 Oceanographic Institute. Students have unprecedented access to working with world-class research scientists.
Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience (MPFI)
Part of the prestigious Max Planck Society, MPFI is the first and only institute of its kind in North America, 提供一个充满活力的, interactive environment where scientists are provided substantial ongoing support that empowers them to take on high-risk projects that act as a catalyst for highly-rewarding innovations. At MPFI, research is focused on the organization and function of neural circuits. MPFI scientists investigate fundamental aspects of these critical networks within the brain and develop new technologies that make groundbreaking discoveries possible. MPFI is home to many 能力 graduate and undergraduate trainees and outstanding core facilities shared by 能力 neuroscientists. MPFI contribute to the training faculty for students who opt for a graduate degree through the IBNS program.
The Scripps 研究 Institute
The Scripps 研究 Institute (TSRI), with campuses in La Jolla, 在木星上, FL campus housing 能力 and MPFI research laboratories, is a nonprofit research institute that supports the research of nearly 3,000名科学家. The SRI installation in 木星 is home to multiple departments, including the Department of Neuroscience which is focused on understanding how the brain works and what goes wrong in the many disorders that affect brain function. TSRI scientists are also heavily engaged in translating basic research discoveries into therapeutics through drug discovery efforts that can help improve the cognitive impairments associated with aging and the many psychiatric and neurological conditions that alter memory including Alzheimer’s disease, 精神分裂症, 双相情感障碍, 自闭症, 焦虑和抑郁. Scientists at TSRI co-mentor many 能力 students and are co-mentored by 能力 faculty. TSRI faculty engage in many research collaborations with 能力 neuroscientists and serve on IBNS thesis committees. Outstanding core facilities, such as those for DNA/RNA sequencing, 蛋白质组学, behavioral and metabolic phenotyping, and drug discovery are open to 能力 neuroscientists and their trainees.
能力 港分公司 Oceanographic Institute
Florida Atlantic University’s 港分公司 Oceanographic Institute is located in Fort Pierce. As one of the nation’s premier oceanographic centers, 能力 港分公司's research community of approximately 200 ocean scientists, staff and students drives innovation in: marine science and engineering; conservation of coral reefs, studies of marine mammals and fisheries; marine drug discovery; estuarine and coastal ecology and observation; ocean dynamics and modeling; aquaculture and marine science education. 港分公司 engages with the community through the Ocean Discovery Visitor’s Center and the Ocean Science Lecture Series. 港分公司’s research and outreach programs translate marine science in order to provide solutions that improve economies and quality of life for coastal communities.
