Oxford To Lead International Neuroscience Association
INDIANAPOLIS - Gerry S. Oxford, Ph.D., executive director of the Stark
Neurosciences Research Institute at the Indiana University School of Medicine,
has been named president-elect of the Association of Neuroscience Departments
and Programs.
Dr. Oxford will serve a one-year term as president of the national organization
beginning in 2004. He succeeds another IU faculty member, George V. Rebec,
Ph.D., professor of psychology and director of the Program in Neural Science
at IU Bloomington.
Dr. Oxford joined the IU School of Medicine this past summer. He was
recruited to lead the newly established Stark Neurosciences Research Institute

The ANDP serves as a forum for discussion of issues such as funding,
faculty development and training that face neuroscience departments and
centers. It is the primary group advocating for and supporting neuroscience
training initiatives at the pre-doctoral and post-doctoral level. The
associations have more than 200 members in the United States and other
countries.
