DEPARTMENT of BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES

Research

Genetic diversity, invasion ecology, antibiotic resistance, animal behaviour and plant physiology—our faculty are making new discoveries in a variety of research areas.

As passionate educators, we prioritize scholarly activity and research that engages students and informs our teaching. We value collaboration, encourage skepticism and foster a culture of integrity, environmental stewardship and community engagement. When you work with us on a research project, you gain the experience you need to continue your education at the graduate level or to start your career in science.

Because we are an undergraduate university, our students do not compete with graduate students for our attention. The quality of research they do is exceptional.
