The biological sciences encompass many fields. Biologists study the structure and functions of living organisms, from the individual cell to the whole organism and communities. In the past three decades, advances in molecular biology and genetics have been rapid, opening many new, exciting career opportunities in the fields of biotechnology and genetic engineering. Biology graduates can pursue a variety of options including graduate and professional school in medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine and other health-related areas, as well as careers in research or commercial laboratories, private and government agencies, and in teaching. The Cell/Molecular/Genetics/Biochemistry (CMGB) concentration exposes students to several vital disciplines that are among the many research strengths of our faculty. Students in this concentration develop a strong foundation in the basic tenets of modern biology, and investigate the underlying theory behind advances in these disciplines in relation to basic science and medicine. The four required CMBG courses cover basic competencies and include: BIO 244 Genetics or BIO 444 Human Genetics BIO 314 Pharmacology or BIO 404 Structures and Function of Biomolecules BIO 318 Biology of Cancer or BIO 430 Cell Biology of Disease BIO 410 Advanced Molecular Biology CAREERS Our alums go on to have careers in medicine, veterinary sciences, dentistry and other allied health professions, including careers as physician assistants, physical and occupational therapists. Many hold research positions in the private sector; become technicians in government and academic labs; or work as research scientists and professors in diverse fields such as cancer biology, cell and molecular biology, neuroscience, immunology and forensic biology. Other career paths include genetic counseling, clinical trials coordination, bioinformatics, genomics, clinical lab medicine, public health, policy, science journalism, teaching and law. Biologists may also be employed in “green” jobs in biotechnology, field research, evolutionary biology, biodiversity and conservation. The opportunities are numerous and varied.
