We have several labs exploring how genetics are involved in evolutionary dynamics, genome organization and structure, population, and so much more!
Our professors explore disease ecology, bacterial stress response, as well as the history of infectious diseases.
Insects are essential to a healthy ecosystem, that is why our professors explore butterfly ecological and biological diversity, insect ecology, and evolutionary ecology!
All animal life begins with an embryo, check out the work our faculty is conducing into the early stages of animal life!
The brain and nervous system are among the most complex structures in the natural world. Our professors and faculty look at neuro development, neurobiology, and neuroinflammation, among other things.
All living things are part of an ecological system, whether it be on dry land or in aquatic settings, our professors explore it all!
If it were not for our immune system, we would be at the mercy of a vast array of bacteria and parasites, our professors explore how immune systems respond to different situations.
We all know there is life on earth, but what about life in space? Sarah Johnson is asking this very question, and finding fascinating answers!
Cells are the basic building blocks of life; our professors explore cellular fusion, the regulation of meiosis, and cell wall biosynthesis!
Our labs look at the tiniest organisms trying to unlock the building blocks of life!
Welcome to the Department of Biology
Our renowned faculty has diverse research interests, including molecular, developmental, cell, ecological and evolutionary biology. Interdisciplinary by nature, we are housed amongst members of the Chemistry and Physics department in Regents Hall, a beautiful, state of the art science facility that opened in 2012.
