Biology is the science studying fundamental phenomena of life. Biology encompasses a broad spectrum of research areas with emphasis on diversity of life. The fields studied in biology include ecology, taxonomy, physiology, genetics, cell biology, developmental biology, molecular biology, genomics, proteomics and bio-informatics. Comprehensive understanding and analytical minds are required to study biological sciences. The Department offers comprehensive and strong education in fields of biological sciences to undergraduate students with a background in mathematics, chemistry and physics. In addition to the standard biology program, the faculty provides academically-motivated undergraduate students the opportunity to participate in cutting-edge research projects. Students who successfully complete an excellent curriculum will have knowledge in biology for a graduate or professional career in applied biological sciences such as biomedical science and agriculture.
The Department of Biology offers competitive training programs for the undergraduate and graduate studies in biological sciences. The Department’s faculty members are responsible for over 60 courses in modern biology and play leading roles in teaching and research. Interests of the faculty include biochemistry, biotechnology, mycology, molecular immunology, cell and molecular biology, plant physiology, taxonomy, toxicology, ecology, restoration ecology, economic botany and phycology. Eleven research laboratories are fully equipped for the pursuit of developing practical knowledge of these fields.
The Department’s goal is to provide practical experience required for a career in biological sciences by applying these research tools to our students. Graduates may pursue careers in bio-industries, education, biotechnology firms, natural history museums, and research institutes.
