STARTNeuro Program
STARTneuro at UC San Diego trains, mentors and funds transfer students as they begin pursuing an undergraduate degree in a neuroscience-related field. This critical program provides support for new Tritons entering a world-renowned research institution to ensure they have the skills, mentorship and experience to start a career trajectory in neuroscience.
"STARTneuro is the best thing I’ve ever done in my life. I love what I am doing, and I wouldn’t be where I am now if not for this program.”
— Manuel Vasconcelos ’26, STARTneuro participant
