It is an exciting time for the biological sciences. Since the turn of the century biologists have mapped the human genome, assembled the first synthetic virus, and discovered that mature cells can be reprogrammed to give rise to several different cell types. Our understanding of how living systems operate and integrate from the level of molecules to ecosystems continues to grow at a rapid pace.

Brown’s program in Undergraduate Biology arms students with the knowledge, skills, and collaborative spirit required to tackle some of society’s more pressing issues – from disease prevention to preserving Earth’s natural heritage.
