Description
Integrative biology is the study of biological systems while incorporating many perspectives. The program brings together a diversity of disciplines that complement one another to unravel the complexity of biology. It incorporates the physical sciences and engineering, and the social sciences, as appropriate, to problems society is addressing. The program works with animals, plants and other organisms and the research spans the levels of the biological hierarchy from molecules to ecosystems.
