OVERVIEW


We live in a world of unprecedented advances in the biological sciences. Biologists now have the molecular tools and the theoretical models required to answer long-standing questions in genetics, neuroscience, evolution, cell biology, and many other disciplines.

The Department of Biology at the University of Maryland, College Park is committed to solving the challenges confronting modern biology by the integrated study of biomolecules, cells, organisms, and populations, within the context of how these entities interact with the natural environment. Laboratories throughout the department thrive by working across these traditional levels of biological investigation.
