MUSC's Department of Neurosciences is the 5th largest department in the country in terms of NIH funding (FY 2003) and the only neuroscience department that places researchers and clinicians at each others side in an effort to transform the promise of cutting edge research into the reality of improved human health. The close working relationship between clinicians and basic researchers provides the fertile environment necessary for training the next generation of clinician scientists that are so urgently needed to realize the health care opportunities emerging from the laboratory.
