Ask your own questions, design your own experiments and get your hands dirty. Guided by engaged faculty, here you participate in meaningful research—in the lab and in the field.
Our students learn the newest ideas in genetics, ecology and evolution, gaining the technical expertise and critical-thinking skills needed to pursue an interest in biology.
“I love what I teach and that’s what motivates me. I want to encourage my students to love cell biology as much as I do. That’s what keeps my job fresh and exciting.
