The Eleanor I. Leslie Term Chair in Innovative Brain Research was established in 2006 for Assistant, Associate, or Full Professors at UCLA who have outstanding credentials in significant, high-impact, cutting-edge neuroscience-related research. Term Chairs are expected to provide scientific and administrative leadership within innovative areas of neuroscience.
Past Chair Holders:
Gina Poe, Ph.D. (01/01/2022 – 08/31/2023)
Giovanni Coppola, M.D. (01/01/2016 – 12/31/2020)
Michael Fanselow, Ph.D. (01/01/2012 – 06/30/2015)
Kelsey Martin, M.D., Ph.D. (10/01/2006 – 09/30/2011)
This term chair provides the BRI with the necessary resources to advance its innovative research in the rapidly evolving field of neuroscience. It plays a pivotal role in recognizing and accelerating the research career of a faculty member within the BRI who is doing innovative neuroscience research in an area that holds the potential to establish a significant new area of investigation with broad implications for the field of neuroscience. Such pioneering research will establish a foundation from which to build future investigations and collaborations among UCLA neuroscientists.
