Farzan Nadim, Ph.D.

2018 Excellence in Research Prize and Medal Recipient

Biological Sciences and Mathematical Sciences at NJIT.

Nadim’s research, continuously funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) since 1999, utilizes electrophysiology experiments and computational models to understand how properties of neurons and synapses result in network oscillations in the nervous system, and how these properties are modified by neuromodulatory substances.

He has served as Reviewing Editor of the Journal of Neuroscience (2009-2016), Director of the Organization for Computational Neuroscience (2013-2016), Faculty Member and Cycle Director of the Neural Systems and Behavior Course at the Marine Biological Laboratory (1998-2017), and Section Editor of the Encyclopedia of Computational Neuroscience (2014-present). Nadim also served on numerous NIH panels, including the Sensorimotor Integration Study Section (2010-2014), which he chaired, and multiple panels of the Presidential Brain Initiative. He is a recipient of the Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowship 1999 and the Ellen & Albert Grass Foundation Faculty Fellowship 2006.
