NeURO-CC Fellows and Alumni

Opening the doors to a world of neuroscience research

Fellows in our Neuroscience Undergraduate Research Opportunity Community College (NeURO-CC) program join a Stanford neuroscience lab to learn about the practice and culture of science, and to help advance our understanding of how the brain works (and why it sometimes doesn't).
