  • Arabidopsis

    Wild-type and transgenic Arabidopsis plants expressing miR156, a microRNA that promotes juvenility and increases the rate of leaf initiation

  • Polymorphism

    Shell color polymorphism in Littorina obtusata. 

  • Bacterial Microcolonies

    Cell-to-cell variability of Vibrio choerae expressing green fluorescent protein from a flagellar promoter. 

  • Porphyrogenes peterwegii

     Pupa of the butterfly Porphyrogenes peterwegii "peering" out of its leafy nest with false eyes, which in turn mimic the eyes of a snake, thereby protecting the pupa from small feather-brained  birds.

  • Malaria parasites

    Malaria parasites (and their kin) can be viewed as minimal eukaryotes, harboring a nucleus (yellow), a secretory pathway the Golgi (purple) and specialized ‘rhotpry’ organelle (black), and two endosymbiotic organelles, the mitochondrion (red) and apicoplast (green).

Welcome

The philosophy of the Biology Department is to create an environment in which many areas of biology are represented, and interactions with a diverse group of colleagues provide opportunities to broaden your thinking and make connections between different fields and scientific approaches.
