Computational biology merges biological sciences with computing, mathematics, and other disciplines to analyze living systems. In today's era of massive datasets, this biological discipline has become increasingly vital and dynamic.
The University of Rochester's Biology Department has consistently stood at the forefront of genetic studies. Though united by a shared passion for genetics, our researchers and students explore diverse subjects across molecular, cellular, developmental, computational, and evolutionary biology. Our academic community comprises 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 foster an optimal learning and research environment, featuring advanced scientific inquiry, thought-provoking discussions, and a supportive, inclusive community.
The Biology Department upholds principles of honesty and diversity in all aspects of our work. We recognize that our success in research and education stems from embracing varied perspectives. Consequently, we actively seek and appreciate individuals from all backgrounds. Our department ensures a secure, inclusive space for undergraduates, graduates, researchers, staff, and faculty to pursue knowledge, conduct work, and engage in daily activities.
