The Animal Biology program spans a diverse array of specialties, with a central focus on understanding gene function and its impact at cellular, organismal, developmental, and disease levels. In Developmental Biology, researchers investigate processes such as growth, gene regulatory networks, regeneration, stem cell biology, and neural development, uncovering key mechanisms that shape animal development and behavior. Studies in Human Disease delve into the molecular underpinnings of cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, genetic diseases, toxicology, and the roles of signaling and epigenetics in health and disease progression. The Veterinary Medicine subgroup addresses critical challenges in infection and immunobiology, focusing on molecular virology, cellular biology, and immune responses. Together, these interconnected fields integrate fundamental science with applied research, advancing our understanding across diverse biological systems.
