Department of Cell Biology and Neuroscience
Welcome!
The academic programs and scientific research interests in our department cover
a wide range of topics, with special emphasis on Cell Biology, Neurobiology,
Developmental Biology, Physiology, Anatomy, Biophysics, and Neuroinformatics.
Together, faculty and students in our department study biological processes that
span the continuum from single cells to the entire human body.
The mission of the Department of Cell Biology and Neuroscience is to:
- provide pre-professional undergraduate students with a foundation of
biological knowledge that prepares them for pursuit of careers in medicine
and medically-related fields, biotechnology, biological research, biology
teaching, and other related professions
- provide MSU undergraduates with an understanding of basic biology
sufficient to insure informed participation in society
- train, through our Ph.D. program, a new generation of biological
scientists equipped to exploit advanced experimental and computational
approaches to develop comprehensive understandings of complex biological
systems
- develop, through research, new knowledge in several key areas of cell
biology and neuroscience
If you are considering a career in the biological or medical sciences, please
explore our web site, and please feel free to contact any of our faculty
personally. If you're interested in a particular field within the biological
and medical sciences, please look through our Faculty pages.
Prospective students can also find useful information on our Undergraduate
or Graduate Program pages.
