Exploring the molecular foundations of biology and disease.
The Department of Molecular Biosciences is composed of faculty members studying molecular, microbial, cellular, developmental, chemical, and systems biology. By spanning such a wide range of expertises and interests, the faculty are developing novel approaches to biological problems and offer unique perspectives to students at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.
Research Centers & Institutes
Our department is constantly adapting to the fast-paced change that accompanies modern biological sciences.
