The Department of Biological Sciences is the focal point for research in the life sciences at the University of Notre Dame. The doctoral program in biological sciences encompasses the broad scope of biological inquiry with several areas of study in the biomedical sciences, global health, and ecology, evolution & the environment (EEE). This uncommon level of wide-ranging yet integrative biological inquiry provides an extraordinary environment for learning, innovation and collaboration.
The program provides a wide choice of faculty advisers, many of who lead their disciplines by serving as officers of professional societies, on journal editorial boards, study sections, scientific advisory boards and as consultants for various organizations. This vibrant research community continues to expand its faculty, both within the department and with associated faculty at the Indiana University School of Medicine at South Bend adjacent to the Notre Dame campus, and other departments at Notre Dame.
