Areas of research represented in the department include the following: Biophysical properties of excitable membranes DNA repair Transcriptional regulation Mechanisms of toxicity Insect development Membrane transport Mechanisms of mitotic chromosome transmission Telomere maintenance Synaptic structure and function Changes in nervous system with experience Interactions of nervous and endocrine systems Reproductive biology and fertilization Chemokine function in wound healing and tumor development Glia-neuron signaling Brainstem and spinal cord control of locomotion Epigenetics Chromatin structure Infectious Diseases Molecular Parasitology Functional Genomics Systems Biology Undergraduate Curriculum Students interested in cell, molecular, and developmental biology can obtain training through the interdepartmental Cell, Molecular, and Developmental Biology major leading to the B.S. degree. Students interested in neuroscience can obtain training in behavioral neuroscience, neurobiology, and neurochemistry through the Neuroscience major leading to the B.A. or B.S. degree. The Neuroscience major is an intercollege major offered by the College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences and the College of Natural and Agricultural Sciences. Graduate Curriculum Courses and research opportunities are offered by the interdepartmental graduate programs in the following fields: Cell, Molecular and Developmental Biology Environmental Toxicology Genetics Microbiology Neuroscience MCSB News!
