Visitor Programs

This program supports Visiting Professorships for prominent neuroscience-focused basic, translational, and clinical scientists to visit campus, meet with faculty, trainees, and staff, and deliver one or more didactic presentations. The program aims to foster communication, stimulate innovation, improve practice, inspire novel clinical, research, and quality initiatives, and raise the prestige of UK neuroscience-related research outside of the university.

While on campus, Visiting Professors do not have any direct patient contact or provide clinical care.
