Neuroscience thrives on crossing disciplinary boundaries, and the Stanford Interdisciplinary Graduate Fellowship (SIGF) program is at the forefront of this movement. The program supports Stanford PhD students whose research combines expertise from various fields, fostering innovative approaches to understanding the brain.

The SIGF Program is a prestigious, university-wide initiative that awards three-year fellowships to outstanding doctoral students. It aims to nurture interdisciplinary research with support from the Stanford Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute, Bio-X, and Sarafan ChEM-H. These fellowships highlight academic excellence and encourage collaboration across biosciences to push the limits of neuroscience.

In 2024, we welcome four fellows supported by Wu Tsai Neuro whose research spans bioengineering, computer science, and neuroscience. Their interdisciplinary backgrounds and interests reflect the program’s commitment to undertaking novel, cutting-edge research and pursuing questions that cross traditional disciplinary boundaries.
