Cell Biology Research
Cell biology is the study of how cells work as individuals, how they organize into complex groups, and how they coordinate their activities within tissues. Understanding cells and their interactions is increasingly important for interpreting the significance of accumulating genomic, proteomic, and other -omic data. Multi-disciplinary research within the Molecular Biology department addresses many critical mechanisms in cell biology. This research is enhanced by strong connections with scientists in nearby institutes of genomics and neuroscience as well as neighboring natural science departments.
