<p>At the forefront of biological research for more than a century, Chicago scientists have furthered efforts to diagnose and treat cancer, discovered a way to preserve blood, and laid the mathematical foundations for the theory of genetic evolution. Today, faculty and students investigate topics ranging from the genetic defects responsible for diabetes to the biomechanics and ecology of marine invertebrates. The department and its substantial resources are housed in the Biological Sciences Learning Center, among the nations most up-to-date facilities of its kind.</p>
<p>After acquiring a broad base in all levels of biological organization, students tailor programs to meet their interests and goals. Among the options: general biology, biological chemistry, cellular and molecular biology, ecology and evolution, immunology, microbiology, and neuroscience. The program encourages individual guided research and offers an honors option.</p>
