The Biology Ph.D. program provides in-depth academic training in the Biological Sciences through comprehensive coursework and specialized seminars. Students gain exposure to key research domains in Biology while having opportunities to explore complementary scientific disciplines. The curriculum emphasizes dual preparation in both research and teaching methodologies. The program fosters cross-disciplinary collaboration, integrating studies with Biochemistry, Chemistry, Computer Science, Environmental Science, Engineering, Mathematics, and Physics. Biology faculty contribute to several interdisciplinary initiatives including the Biotechnology Center, Computational Genetics and Genomics Center, Computational Molecular Science Institute, and Genomics and Evolutionary Medicine Institute. Faculty expertise spans diverse fields including aquatic/terrestrial ecology, biochemistry, biophysics, cellular biology, computational genomics, developmental biology, evolutionary/organismal biology, genetics, molecular biology, molecular evolution, neurobiology, and virology.
Evolutionary medicine represents a cross-disciplinary approach that analyzes modern human illnesses through an evolutionary lens. Investigations in this field explore how genetic mutations, selective pressures, population dynamics, and evolutionary processes have influenced biological diversity and disease susceptibility in humans.
