What is Integrative Biology
The Integrative Biology Major
Many Perspectives, Diverse Disciplines
Our name reflects our belief that the study of biological systems is best approached by incorporating many perspectives. We bring together a diversity of disciplines that complement one another to unravel the complexity of biology. We incorporate the physical sciences and engineering, and the social sciences, as appropriate, to problems we are addressing. Our broad range of expertise includes:
- Behaviorists
- Ecologists
- Evolutionary biologists
- Geneticists
- Morphologists
- Paleontologists
- Physiologists
- Systematists
Research
Several of our faculty and many of our courses deal with the origins and biology of humans, and our relationship to other life forms on this planet.
- We work with animals, plants, and other organisms.
- We employ molecular and organismal approaches to questions of biological organization and diversity.
- Our research spans the levels of the biological hierarchy from molecules to ecosystems.
