This project is part of a UPR system-wide initiative to nurture and promote the formation of multi-campus and multi-disciplinary Research Institutes. This COBRE will serve as the foundation for the development of one of these institutes by:

  • Creating a competitive research center in neuroscience, which will optimize the capacity of the UPR system to compete nationally.
  • Developing young scientists into competitive R01-supported researchers under the leadership of a Center Director and the scientific guidance of an external advisory committee.
  • Expanding the capability of neuroscience research in Puerto Rico (PR).


The goals of the proposed collaborative research projects are to advance the scientific understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying neuronal injury, emotional memory, cocaine-seeking behavior, and the expression of maternal behavior.


The external advisory committee, chaired by Dr. Edward A Kravitz, George Packer Berry Professor of Neurobiology at Harvard Medical School, will provide scientific guidance for the development of a strong thrust in neuroscience at UPR, and the development of R01-supported researchers.
