Biological sciences graduate students prepare for careers that emphasize an interdisciplinary approach to biology and undertake their degrees in one of the three divisions within the department. Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (BMB) offers research opportunities in areas such as the analysis of structure and function of complex carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, and proteins; DNA repair; and study of extremophiles. In Cellular Developmental and Integrative Biology (CDIB), faculty conduct research in sensory and endocrine systems at the molecular, cellular, and systems level; developmental biology and cell differentiation; transcriptional regulation; intra- and inter-cellular signaling; functional and comparative morphology; neurobiology; comparative and environmental physiology.
