| The Institute for Behavioral Genetics (IBG) provides an interdisciplinary training program that interacts synergistically with the many research projects, both human and non-human, conducted under the auspices of its faculty. The research projects emphasize many areas related to behavioral genetics, including aging, developmental psychology, neurobiology, neuropharmacology, pharmacogenetics, quantitative genetics, molecular biology, molecular genetics, and evolutionary biology. Complementing intensive research training is a core program of courses in which students learn to apply the principles and techniques of genetics to the analysis of behavior. Because IBG is not a degree-granting unit of the Graduate School, each trainee must be a degree candidate in an academic department of the University. The Institute has faculty and graduate student liaisons with several departments on the Boulder campus. There are also research and training links between IBG and the Departments of Pharmacology, Psychiatry and School of Pharmacy at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center in Denver, as well as the Department of Psychology at Denver University. | |
