The Department of Biology investigates a wide range of research questions across the vast disciplines of the biological sciences. Our interdisciplinary faculty have research interests in areas ranging from single cells to entire systems and questions ranging from why we need sex to the origin of diseases at the cellular level. We invite you to explore our website to learn more about our outstanding faculty and their research.
As a research department in an academic institution the teaching of future scientists is, and has always been one of our priorities. Our graduate research program trains scientists for careers in academia, industry and government. Our undergraduate students gain a firm foundation in modern biological sciences to prepare them for a multitude of careers that depend on a solid understanding of biology. All students have an opportunity to participate in research areas through our graduate and undergraduate programs. Welcome to Biology!

Department of Biology to Hold Information Session
The University of Iowa Department of Biology will be hosting an information session that will provide potential students, as well as current University of Iowa students, the chance to learn about the Biology program at the University of Iowa. The information session will take place on Thursday, Oct. 25, 2012 at 6:30 p.m. in the Kollros Auditorium of the Biology Building East (BBE).
During the event, attendees will hear from several speakers, including the departmental executive officer, Dr. Bernd Fritzsch, academic and career advisors, and representatives from the University of Iowa College of Public Health and the University of Iowa Biological Interests Organization (UI BIO), a student organization on campus. Information presented will cover a variety of topics including the requirements for a Biology degree, opportunities for research and teaching, and biology-related careers, among others. An optional lab tour will also take place after the session for those interested in seeing a research lab.
More details about the event can be viewed here, or contact Steve Kehoe with the Department of Biology: steve-kehoe@uiowa.edu, 319-335-1050.
