Research Clusters

In addition to concentration areas within the Biological Sciences Program, several groups of faculty members with shared research interests have formed “research clusters” to foster collaborative projects and enriched opportunities for graduate students.

Students apply to the Biological Sciences graduate program and one concentration area that contain faculty members from the research cluster of interest. Students may join a research cluster once on campus and are encouraged to explore these opportunities:

• Center for Comparative and Evolutionary Biology of Hearing (C-CEBH)
• Developmental Biology
• Host-Pathogen Interactions
• Plant Systems: Cell Biology and Genomics
• Quantitative Biology
