BNAT stands for Basic Neuroscience Advanced Training. We work closely with the UCD Neuroscience Program, providing support for 4 postdocs and advanced predocs. We offer training in all aspects of advanced basic neuroscience research, including electrophysiological and molecular biological techniques, and especially fluorescence imaging. The 15 BNAT faculty are drawn from five departments at the C.U. Medical School. Our trainees have exceptional research opportunities, for example, with sophisticated instruments in the Light and Electron Microscopy Facilities, and with advanced capabilities of the new Transgenic Vector Facility. In addition, the BNAT program sponsors
An Imaging Course, Fluorophores and Microscopes
A biennial Teaching Workshop, Becoming a Teacher
A Journal Club/Seminar Series

BNAT Teaching Workshop:
Becoming a Teacher
If you are a graduate student, postdoctoral fellow, or new faculty member, it is likely that TEACHING lies in your future. The BNAT Program and the UCD Graduate School sponsor a half-day workshop, scheduled biennially.
The next workshop will be held in 2007.
Conducted by two extraordinary academics - Anne Curzan, PhD and Lisa Damour, PhD, co-authors of the acclaimed book First Day to Final Grade: A Graduate Student's Guide to Teaching. You will receive your own copy of their book.
