The Division of Biological Sciences is unique among all life science units at MU with respect to its responsibilities and contributions in research, graduate training, undergraduate instruction, and service. Our faculty members work in three highly interrelated areas at the cutting edge of modern biology: (1) the genetic and cellular regulation of development; (2) neurobiology and the regulation of behavior; and (3) ecological and evolutionary biology. Although strongly focused, their research is integrated across all levels of biological organization from organelles to populations. Many of our faculty members work at the interfaces between these areas and we encourage our graduate and undergraduate students to do likewise. Research and graduate education are inextricably intertwined. The research component of graduate training is provided in individual faculty laboratories, taking full advantage of the rich mixture of interdisciplinary opportunities available on this campus. The instructional component is provided through graduate seminars led by experts at the frontiers of their field. In undergraduate education we serve non-majors and majors alike, emphasizing the excitement of discovery and the development of individual creativity and critical reasoning skills. We prepare our 1030 biology majors for either direct entry into the workplace or advanced study in graduate or professional school with laboratory courses that investigate real-world problems in biology and research under the personal guidance of faculty mentors. More than 70 undergraduates a year conduct research projects with our faculty mentors. Because science exposure in the pre-college years is critical to the development of both scientists and informed citizens, we also offer special outreach programs for secondary school science teachers in Missouri.
