生物学哲学博士

生物与生物化学系提供生物化学和生物学的研究生课程（均具有硕士学位和博士学位）。生物学的研究生课程具有三个学位课程：生物医学证书课程，细胞和分子生物学学位课程以及生态与进化学位课程。生物医学科学证书仅与生物学非学位论文MS一起提供。其他研究生课程和学位课程将本系的组织划分为三个部门：生物化学，细胞和分子生物学以及生态与进化。每个部门对其MS和Ph博士都有相似但不完全相同的要求。度。每个部门都有一名政策负责人，该政策负责人是一名教师，负责在选择论文或论文顾问之前监督学生的进度。各部门的课程要求有所不同，因此入
The Department of Biology & Biochemistry offers Ph.D. degrees in Biochemistry and in Biology. The Ph.D. program in Biology has two degree tracks: the Cell and Molecular Biology degree track, and the Ecology and Evolution degree track. <br> <br>Cell and Molecular Biology - The faculty and students in this program share common interests in understanding the molecular mechanisms which drive both fundamental cellular processes and the developmental processes of morphogenesis, cell differentiation and gene regulation. The strength of the program is the diversity of the biological systems under study, which stimulates extensive exchange and collaboration between the various groups. Faculty expertise spans the disciplines of cell and developmental biology, molecular biology, physiology, microbiology, neuroscience, immunology, and genetics.<br><br>Ecology and Evolution - This program blends knowledge and methodology from diverse biological disciplines to better understand ecological and evolutionary processes operating at multiple scales-from molecules to individuals to societies to communities. Current research programs include experimental evolution, evolution of development, evolutionary genetics, behavioral ecology, community ecology and evolutionary bioinformatics in systems ranging from bacteria to ants, from protists to grasses. Faculty conduct studies in natural habitats including the Colorado plateau, and coastal salt marshes, and in artificial systems such as petri dishes and theoretical models.
