What are the research opportunities provided to students in the Biology Graduate Program?
Though based in the Biology Department in the School of Arts and Sciences, the Biology Graduate Group is comprised of faculty from other departments and affiliated academic institutions, such as the Medical School, Wistar Institute, Fox Chase Cancer Center, and Academy of Natural Sciences. Thus, the students have a wide range of research opportunities within the program. Research is started early, in the first year. Students can choose from a diverse array of microorganisms, plants or animals to study. Research topics can include genetics, molecular biology, cell and developmental biology, immunology, neurobiology, behavior and ethnology, ecology, population biology and evolution. Our list of recent dissertations topics provides evidence of the variety and scope of the research projects undertaken by the students in the Biology Graduate Group.
