Cell and Molecular Biology

Cellular and molecular biology has become central to all aspects of Biology. While once those scientists who studied DNA molecules and cell operation were strictly thought of as lab scientists, now many have ties to a variety of other disciplines including applied medicine, ecology, and evolutionary biology. Our students have a wide variety of options to entering the world of cellular and molecular biology including research on insect Cell and Molecular Biology development, human brain cancer, loon systematics and evolution, and microbial action.

Students interested in this area might consider any of the Biology Department majors, especially Biology, Biochemistry, Physiology, and Microbiology.

We also have a special program in Diagnostic Genetics (administered jointly, listed in the Bulletin under Clinical Laboratory Sciences) that may be of interest.
