The Department of Biological Sciences emphasizes the integrative nature of the biological
sciences, focusing on research programs that unite three major foci: evolution/ecology,
physiology, and biochemistry, cell and molecular biology.
Faculty research programs reflect the interdisciplinary strength of our department,
while providing a firm foundation in theoretical focal areas. Recent faculty hires
support our rich tradition of research training in these traditional fundamental disciplines
while providing the specializations to foster interdisciplinary relationships.
