Formalized Graduate Tracks have been established to provide students with customized research and career mentorship.
Financial aid is available to all graduate students in the form of assistantships.
In addition, all graduate students in Biological Sciences receive a full tuition scholarship from the University of Delaware. The Department of Biological Sciences occupies Wolf Hall and much of the McKinly Laboratory building and has modern well-equipped laboratories for research and teaching. The buildings are adjacent and located on the main campus mall. Resources include facilities with automated DNA sequencing and gene array analysis, cell culture and hybridoma core laboratories, fluorescence and confocal microscopes, newly-renovated animal research space with a staffed transgenic mouse facility, constant temperature rooms and growth chambers, ultracentrifuges, liquid scintillation and gamma spectrometers, and access to scanning and transmission electron microscopes. Other research resources are readily available through collaborations with scientists in other departments at the University of Delaware and at the Delaware Biotechnology Institute , a new venture supported by the State, the University and local industry.
