About CSFN


The mission of the Center for Structural and Functional Neuroscience (CSFN) is to foster multidisciplinary research and training at the interface of molecular neurophysiology, cellular neurobiology, and molecular neuropharmacology. A diverse group of faculty representing synthetic chemists, molecular biologists, physiologists, and clinicians form a dynamic and collaborative neuroscience research group.

The Center serves as part of the infrastructure for a broad range of basic and translational biomedical research efforts in Montana. It is directed by MichaelKavanaugh, Ph.D., and investigators include faculty from various departments including Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Chemistry & Biochemistry, Mathematics, and the Division of Biological Sciences at The University of Montana-Missoula. In addition to the UM campus, affiliated investigators are also located at the McLaughlin Research Institute in Great Falls and at Montana State University in Bozeman. The CSFN was developed with support from the Centers of Biomedical Research Excellence Program of the National Institutes of Health (grant P20 RR015583) and from a Montana Board of Research & Commercialization Technology grant to Enhance Applied Research in Biomedicine.
