Department of Molecular Biology
Extending the Frontiers of Biology
University of Wyoming’s molecular biology program provides students with the education
and research experience needed to excel in biological research and biotechnology.
The emergence of molecular biology has blurred the distinctions previously drawn between
biochemistry, microbiology, genetics, zoology, and botany by identifying the many
common, unifying principles that are the essence of all life forms. The goal of the
Department of Molecular Biology at the University of Wyoming is to introduce students
to these principles and undertake fundamental research to extend the frontiers of
biology.
But our students are prepared for more than rural America. The world is more complex,
and solving problems and being competitive in the work place requires new skills and
new solutions. Our molecular biology degree students are educated with tools for success
in the 21st Century. They are as comfortable working in the small towns of Wyoming
as they are in Los Angeles, Houston, or New York City.
