Let me urge you to consider UTSA for your doctoral training.
Biology is the field that has recently undergone a molecular genetics revolution.
The cloning of the entire human genome, just a few years away, will profoundly change our lives forever. Although philosophers have questioned whether humans have the capacity to understand our own brain, recent technological advances are giving us means of examining its fundamental workings in ways never before possible. Discoveries made today lay the foundation for future advances, that should eventually result in the complete understanding of the mechanisms by which our brain functions. Here at UTSA, we are approaching the question of how our brain works from a number of directions. We study how the brain stores information both at a theoretical level and at the level of neurons, and how neurons compute information.
