Broadly speaking, three core areas of
research activity characterize the Department of
Biological Sciences: Ecology & Environmental Biology,
Marine Biology, and Molecular Biology & Microbiology.
The strength of our research programs manifests itself
in presentations at national/international conferences
and workshops, publication in internationally recognized
peer-reviewed journals, graduate student activity,
interdisciplinary collaboration and extramural funding.
Total extramural funding exceeded $6 million
each of the last 3 years.
Faculty research programs, which range widely across the
biological disciplines, currently enjoy support from a
diverse array of funding sources:
Environmental Protection Agency
National Science Foundation
NOAA/Sea Grant
U.S. Forest Service U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service
Mississippi Military Department
Alaska SeaLife Center |
Department of Defense
National Institutes of Health
U.S. Department of Agriculture
Center for Disease Control/MS Dept. of Health
Department of Energy |
Our research infrastructure is supported by grants
from the National Science Foundation EPSCoR program and
the National Institutes of Health Biomedical Research
Infrastructure Network program. This project is
responsible for creation of
Mississippi's Functional Genomics Network, which is
promoting biomedical research in Mississippi.
