Biodiversity, species evolution, and population dynamics are key areas of study in ecology and evolutionary biology.
The University of Rochester's Biology Department is renowned for its pioneering work in genetics research. Though genetics serves as a unifying focus, our faculty and students investigate diverse questions across molecular, cellular, developmental, computational, and evolutionary biology. Our community consists of curious, innovative thinkers who make significant contributions not only to science and medicine but also to fields like law, business, and technology. We strive to create an optimal environment for learning, research, and collaboration, featuring state-of-the-art facilities, intellectual stimulation, and a supportive, inclusive culture.
The Biology Department upholds principles of integrity and diversity. We recognize that our research excellence and educational impact stem from embracing varied perspectives. Consequently, we actively seek and support students, faculty, and staff from all backgrounds. Our commitment extends to maintaining a secure, inclusive space where undergraduates, graduates, researchers, staff, and faculty can thrive in their academic and professional pursuits.
