OEB

Welcome to the Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology! OEB is focused on understanding the natural world in all of its dimensions. Researchers in OEB study organisms that are drawn from every lineage of the tree of life at every level organization. We explore life's diversity in an explicitly comparative context through the unifying lens of evolution. Our research areas include genetics, physiology, development, behavior, local to global ecosystems, and the use of empirical and theoretical frameworks... At the same time, we are deeply invested in training the next generation of leaders in academia, health professions, life science industry, and environmental stewardship. Our PhD program offers roughly 100 students unparalleled opportunities for research and career development, while our undergraduate concentration, Integrative Biology, prepares students for a wide range of life science careers (with an impressive number of course fieldtrips!). Our scientists and staff are..
