The Department of Biology at Emory University supports research and teaching areas and activities that are not represented in other parts of the University. We continue to build and strengthen those areas to provide cutting edge training for our undergraduates, graduate students and postdoctoral fellows and to extend the boundaries of human knowledge and experience. We welcome you to extend your knowledge of us and to experience our department via our web pages. Enjoy!!
