Welcome to Biology

Research in the Biology Department covers diverse areas, which gives undergraduate and graduate students broad educational opportunities. Students have the choice of a variety of inter-disciplinary streams, co-op programs and laboratory-based research projects. Studies in the Biology Department thus open a wide variety of options for professional and personal development, and not to forget, fun. Welcome.
