Majoring in GCD
The Department of Genetics, Cell Biology,
and Development comprises faculty from
the College of Biological Sciences and the
Medical School. These faculty are engaged
in research in three key disciplines of the
department—GENETICS, CELL BIOLOGY, and
DEVELOPMENTAL BIOLOGY. Research topics
in these key disciplines are listed below.
Genetics
Fundamental genetic mechanisms such as DNA and chromosome replication, DNA repair, recombination,
and transposition
Gene expression and the many factors and
circumstances that regulate it
Genomics--the analysis of whole genomes
from both structural and functional viewpoints
Human genetics and genetic counseling
Cell Biology
Interactions between cells, properties of cell
membranes, molecular transport into and within
cells, cell signaling processes
Control of the cell cycle, regulation of cell division
Cell structure and function, organelles, components
of the cytoskeleton, cell motility
Developmental Biology
Developmental mechanisms, specification of cell fates
Cellular differentiation, formation of tissues and organs
