Department of Biochemistry & Cell Biology

Welcome to the Department of Biochemistry & Cell Biology. We recently added Cell Biology to our name to better reflect our research interests and expertise. We continue to use the latest technologies and experimental systems to address the molecular, cellular, and genetic mechanisms of biological processes, including many that relate to human disease.
