A significant change in the department occured in July 2000 when the former Department of Biology became the Department of Biological Sciences. We still have the same mission: excellence in undergraduate and graduate education. Our research area in cell/ molecular biology focuses on signal transduction. We have faculty studying the regulation of transcription, nematode molecular biology, cytokine signaling, plant molecular biology and virology. Ecology colleagues joined with faculty from the former Department of Geology to form the new Department of Earth. Ecological, and Environmental Sciences. (posted Juy 2004)
