Chair's Welcome

Welcome to the Department of Biology at the University of Maryland! We aim to be one of the best integrative biology departments in the country. Our faculty, students, and postdoctoral scholars are engaged in research and teaching at the crest of modern biology using a diversity of organisms and modern approaches to gain the widest possible perspectives on biological organization and function. Evolution provides a unifying theme for the department, with research foci in biophysics, sensory neuroscience, developmental biology, evolutionary genetics, behavioral ecology, conservation biology, and ecology.
