Today is an exciting time to study biology. Over the last half century, we have witnessed unprecedented breakthroughs in molecular genetics, cellular biology, and neurobiology as well as gained a deeper understanding of the environment around us. Those of us affiliated with the Department of Biological Sciences, one of the largest academic units within The University of Southern Mississippi, strive to provide high quality education through programs of instruction and research, to advance the body of scientific knowledge through the scholarship of discovery, integration and application, and to offer technical and educational expertise locally, regionally, nationally, and internationally.
