UMD-led research identifies age-related changes to DNA and reveals longevity-related differences between bat species.

The training program, which the NIH has supported for 26 years, funds five graduate students and two postdocs. Distinguished University Professor Catherine Carr is co-principal investigator for the program.

He has served as associate chair of the department since 2018.

A new study shows how small strokes can disrupt the whole brain and reduce mental processing.

The national honor recognizes their distinguished efforts to advance science.

NIH’s High-Risk, High-Reward Research Program will fund a project that could transform efforts to understand how neurons are wired.

Graduate student John Ficklin, Senior Lecturer Sara Lombardi and Professor Gerald Wilkinson will serve on the Council.

In "Dynamic estimation of auditory temporal response functions via state-space models with Gaussian mixture process noise," published August 19, 2020 in PLOS Computational Biology, researchers including Professor Jonathan Simon develop efficient algorithms for inferring the parameters of a general class of Gaussian mixture process noise models from noisy and limited observations, and utilize them in extracting the neural dynamics that underlie auditory processing from magnetoencephalography (MEG) data in a cocktail party setting.

Twelve tenured/tenure-track faculty members, seven instructional faculty members and 16 research faculty members were promoted.

We congratulate Quentin Gaudry, who was promoted to associate professor with tenure; Beth Parent, who was promoted to principal lecturer; and Bill Fagan, who was named Distinguished University Professor.
