Who do we train in the graduate program?

Equipped with sound fundamental knowledge and unique practical competencies, a neuroscience researcher will be in demand both in research laboratories and innovative pharmaceutical companies around the world.

Graduates of the program will be able to become not only researchers in the field of neuroscience, but also try themselves as creators of new innovative products capable of restoring and expanding brain functions.

In close contact with leading experts in neurosciences, synthetic neurobiology and neuroprosthetics, students will be able to study disciplines related to the principles of signal processing in living systems, molecular and cellular neurobiology, synaptic signaling, neural networks, neuropsychology, as well as an important area of training for future leaders of scientific projects — research management.

Testimonials from our students about their training on the «Medical Neurotechnology» program

My name is Sofia, I am a doctor-surgeon and master's student of neurocampus, I graduated from the Faculty of Medicine and clinical residency of Yevdokimov Moscow State Medical University. I like to solve non-standard problems and find answers to complex questions. The world is full of mysteries, but perhaps it is universally recognized that the human brain is the most interesting of them all. I am glad that I had the opportunity to become part of a team of neuroscientists by continuing my studies in Medical Neurotechnology. As part of my master's program for my research work, I plan to learn tools such as fMRI, EEG, and i-tracking, as well as study human neuroanatomy and neurophysiology in detail. I know that I want to continue working with human subjects and patients as both a clinician and neuroscientist. The Neurocampus team supports me in this.

Since childhood, I have loved to observe the living world around me. As I grew up, I began to realize that a simple interest grows into a desire to seriously study the principles of functioning of living systems, so when the time came to choose a university, I considered faculties with biological profile. In 2023, I graduated from the Department of Higher Nervous Activity of the Biology Faculty of Moscow State University, to which I am very grateful for forming a solid knowledge base in different branches of biology, and especially in the field of neuroscience and VND. After completing my bachelor’s degree, I ve been choosing where to apply for a long time. In the end I made a decision to apply to Neurocampus master’s program in profile «Medical Neurotechnologies». The first semester of study has come to the end, and I can confidently say that I am grateful to this master’s program for the opportunity to develop in completely different areas, the understanding of which is necessary to work on the scientific tasks in front of me. It is also pleasant to realize that here I am surrounded by people who are passionate about their work and are true professionals.
