Dr. Peercy receives Hrabowski Fund for Innovation award
Project title: Learning and Innovation at the Interface of Mathematics and Medicine: A NEW Approach
A team led by Dr. Bradford Peercy is the recipient of the Spring 2015 Hrabowski Fund for Innovation award.
The team's goal is to introduce the Neuromathematical Experience Workgroup (NEW), a new approach to training students on the interface of mathematics and neurosciences that focuses on interdisciplinary, team-based experiences.
The fundamental change in the nature of biological research toward quantitative sciences has identified a need for collaboration within biology, mathematics, and statistics. Through the NEW project, undergraduate and graduate students will develop core skills and tools required in mathematics and neuroscience to form a common foundation that will prepare them for future careers in neuroscience and as research and teaching faculty.
