Throughout your studies, you will be afforded the option to choose to focus on specializations and research areas including:
- cellular and molecular neuroscience;
- computational biology, focusing on computational evolutionary genomics;
- ecology;
- evolutionary medicine, an interdisciplinary field that examines contemporary human disease within the larger context of evolutionary history;
- genetic epidemiology, an interdisciplinary field that examines the impact of genetic and environmental factors on modern human disease;
- molecular, cellular and developmental biology; and
