Ilya Vilinsky

Ph.D.: Cornell University Ithaca, NY, USA, 2003 (Neurobiology and Behavior)

My educational role is to teach fundamental neuroscience courses to undergraduates, including principles of neurobiology, neurophysiology, and biological psychology.  I teach an intensive neurophysiology laboratory course for neuroscience majors, and an introductory course in drugs and disease in the brain for first year and non-science majors, using popular topics to introduce students to the field of neuroscience.  I also serve as the neuroscience advisor for students who take independent research for academic credit or capstone credit.

My administrative role is to direct the undergraduate neuroscience major. I am responsible for designing courses for and organizing the curricula of each of the three tracks within the neuroscience major.  I am the academic advisor for students majoring in neuroscience, and guide each student individually through their coursework, independent research or internship, and preparation for careers or postgraduate training.  In addition, I work to develop opportunities for academic and career development for students within the University of Cincinnati.  This includes establishing contact between undergraduate neuroscience and the diverse array of research labs and division within the College of Medicine.
