Academic Departments
The School of Biological Sciences programs at UC San Diego cover a wide spectrum of research interests, including biochemistry and biophysics; cell biology and developmental biology; ecology, behavior, and evolution; genetics and molecular biology; immunology, virology, and cancer biology; neurobiology; and plant molecular biology.
Within the school, these subdisciplines are organized under four Academic Departments.
Each of the departments has a Chair who reports to the Dean, and all share a centralized administrative support structure: IT, fiscal and human resources as well as the undergraduate and graduate programs which are administered at the School level.
