Research

The department, 研究实验室主要在道奇厅和数学与科学中心, 从事各种研究项目, 包括水生和脊椎动物生态学, biochemistry, cell physiology, cellular aging, evolution, gene regulation, immunology, microbiology, molecular biology, genetics, parasitology, 气候变化生物学和干细胞研究. 许多生物学专业的学生选择参加个别教师的研究项目，以获得课程学分(BIO 4995)。. 学生必须通过与教师讨论他们的课程来启动这个过程. 教师名单和他们的研究兴趣的简要说明可以访问 tabs below.

可用的设施包括一个很大的自然1500英亩的校园(110英亩被指定为一个 biological preserve), confocal microscopy laboratories, flow cytometry, 暗室和同位素实验室, a herbarium collection, animal care facilities, 冷藏室和组织培养套件，配有处理生物危险材料的设施. For an 可用设备清单, visit the 生物医学研究中心网站.
