The Department of Biological Structure offers graduate programs of study leading to the Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees. The department promotes an understanding of biological processes through the study and analysis of structure-function relationships. The research problems that interest members of the faculty are diverse, including cellular differentiation and development explored in a variety of biological systems, neuroscience, molecular biophysics, biomolecular structure, and quantitative biology with an emphasis on computer graphic representations of biological structures. This diversity creates a lively atmosphere in the department that provides a stimulating environment for the training of scientists with a variety of backgrounds. Graduates from the program are expected to have a broad knowledge of biological structure at all levels, from the molecular to the human anatomical, with major emphasis on the cellular level.
Graduate students select research and teaching pathways in their program.
Applicants should have completed an undergraduate major in any appropriate field, such as anthropology, biochemistry, biology, chemistry, physics, psychology, or zoology.
