Foundation professor JC Cang brings distinction to UVA's neuroscience program

Since joining UVA’s faculty in 2017, JC Cang, the Paul T. Jones II Jefferson Scholars Foundation Distinguished Professor, has helped to bring long overdue distinction to the University’s neuroscience program. Not only has he designed several new courses, including the student-favorite “Neuroscience Through the Nobels,” an overview of the Nobel-winning discoveries that have profoundly shaped the field, but he also runs a state-of-the-art lab and dedicates much of his time to advising students as the director of the neuroscience undergraduate major.
