BIOLOGY FACULTY

The Biology faculty are professionally accomplished and research oriented, with a special dedication to undergraduate instruction. They publish the results of their research in scientific journals, serve on the editorial boards of journals and advisory boards of science agencies, and author technical and text books. Faculty research programs are designed for meaningful participation by undergraduates through independent study and the Senior Project. Students become junior research colleagues. Strengths of the faculty include cellular physiology and electron microscopy, molecular evolution, molecular biology of development, genetics of animal behavior, circulatory and respiratory physiology, animal behavior, marine and freshwater ecology, microbiology, and immunology.
