Students in the biological sciences graduate programs are part of a dynamic, research-intensive environment and are surrounded by excellent facilities and state-of-the-art laboratory equipment for all fields of biological research. In the Department of Biological Sciences, research and teaching interests range from molecular biology and physiology to ecology and behaviour. The main themes of research are:

Evolution and Ecology: The patterns of life in time and space.
Development and Function: The mechanisms by which living things are formed and maintain themselves.
