CCNY South Campus

Neuro@CCNY



The City College campus is home to a good number of research labs investigating a range of exciting topics in Neuroscience. Coming from many sub-disciplines in Neuroscience and from a number of schools within the CUNY system, we form a collaborative and dynamic hub of activity in cutting edge Neuroscience research.

Please use these links to reach a CCNY Neuroscience lab that fits your interests.
