Genetics is a rapidly-progressing science, a central theme of modern biology, and an indispensable component of most biological research. The Genetics programme at Otago draws together the departments of Anatomy, Biochemistry, Botany, Microbiology and Immunology, Pathology, Pharmacology and Toxicology, Women’s and Children’s Health, and Zoology. This allows staff and students to interact and share ideas across a broader sphere than is possible in any one department.  Genetics is the study of genes and inheritance. It’s fun, interesting, challenging and relevant to everyday life! It’s a very diverse subject, in which you’ll learn about the molecular basis of life right through to the study of whole organisms, populations and evolution.
