Research Interests by Topic

Faculty in the Department of Biology also participate in several interdisciplinary research programs at Texas A&M including the following:

Arabidopsis Working Group - provides a forum for interaction between arabidopsis researchers in a number of academic departments and research units.

Bioinformatics Working Group - includes campus faculty, staff, and students with research and educational interests in the expression of biodiversity data using new information technologies.

Center for Research on Biological Clocks - capitalizes on the unusual concentration and breadth of expertise in the field of biological clocks research at Texas A&M.

Developmental Biology Interest Group (DBIG) - an organized group of faculty who interact regularly to facilitate graduate student training and promote collaborative research programs.

Interdisciplinary Research Program in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (EEB) - The purpose of the IRP in EEB is to integrate research programs related to the disciplines of ecology and evolutionary biology and heighten awareness of this important area of biological research within our institution. The program fosters collaboration for both research and teaching in the disciplines of ecology and evolutionary biology.

Laboratory for Functional Genomics - Integrates a number of research activities and services in the area of functional genomics.

Neuroscience - Individual programs can be designed with emphasis on research training in areas such as molecular neurobiology, neuroanatomy, developmental neurobiology, neurochemistry, neuroendocriniology, neurogenetics, neuorpharmacology, neurotoxicology, neurophysiology, physiological psychology, and ethology.

Program for the Biology of Filamentous Fungi (PBOFF) This program includes researchers from the Department of Plant Pathology and Microbiology, the Department of Biology, and the Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics at Texas A&M. Scientists with common interests in understanding the biology of fungi make up the faculty of this program.

Shared Instrumentation Facility for Biological Clocks Research--Integrates all biological clocks research activities by common technological approaches.

Intercollegiate Program in Genetics - designed to provide a flexible curriculum for graduate studies that can accommodate the biochemical and technological needs of students with a molecular orientation as well as present the quantitative concepts required for developing an understanding of plant and animal breeding perspectives.
