Research

Researchers in our Cell Biology & Molecular Genetics group are interested in the cellular, molecular, and genetic mechanisms that regulate and control cellular processes. This includes research in Cancer Biology, Cell Signaling, Regulatory Control of Sperm Function, Bioinformatics, Vaccine & Drug Development, Immunology, Neurobiology, and Bioengineering & Biophysics. For more information on research being done in this area please see our Cell Biology & Molecular Genetics faculty research page. Prospective graduate students with an interest in this area should consider our M.S. or PhD program in Cell Biology & Molecular Genetics.

Researchers in our Ecology & Evolutionary Biology group use a variety of experimental, theoretical, and computational approaches to address fundamental questions at all levels of ecological complexity. Topics of interest include: aquatic ecology, terrestrial ecology, microbial ecology, evolutionary biology, conservation biology, and genomics. For more information on research being done in this area please see our Ecology & Evolutionary Biology faculty research page. Prospective graduate students with an interest in this area should consider our M.S. or PhD program in Ecology & Evolutionary Biology.

Researchers in our Integrative Physiology & Neurobiology group use a variety of experimental approaches and model systems to answer fundamental questions about physiology and behavior. Topics of interest include: neuroendocrinology, behavioral neuroscience, developmental neuroscience, neurodegeneration, reproductive physiology, and metabolic regulation.
