Biochemistry explores the chemical reactions and processes that take place in living organisms. By pooling expertise and resources from throughout the University, our biochemistry students benefit from top-tier courses, seminars, and research possibilities.
The University of Rochester's Biology Department has consistently been at the forefront of genetics research. Though united by a shared passion for genetics, our faculty and students investigate diverse questions across molecular, cellular, developmental, computational, and evolutionary biology. Our community consists of curious, innovative thinkers who make meaningful contributions not only to science and medicine but also to fields like law, business, and technology. We strive to create an optimal setting for learning, research, and collaboration, featuring advanced research opportunities, an intellectually vibrant environment, and a supportive, inclusive space.
The Biology Department upholds principles of integrity and inclusivity. We recognize that our success in research and education stems from embracing diversity in all its forms. Consequently, we actively encourage participation from students, faculty, and staff of all backgrounds. Our goal is to maintain a secure and inviting atmosphere where everyone—undergraduates, graduates, researchers, staff, and faculty—can thrive in their academic, professional, and daily pursuits.
