Graduate students may pursue MS or PhD degrees on a vast array of research topics in the Department of Biomedical Sciences through interdepartmental graduate programs in Biological Sciences and Molecular and Cellular Biology. Application guidelines to the graduate program can be found here: http://bios.ohio.edu/graduate/graduate-application-guidelines.

The interests of Biomedical Sciences faculty encompass a range of research themes in biological and biomedical sciences. These diverse faculty interests are organized into three broad focus groups: 1) Ecology & Evolutionary Biology, 2) Physiology and Neuroscience, and 3) Cell, Developmental and Microbiology. Specific areas of research and associated faculty are provided here. See individual faculty web-pages for additional information on research activities.

Medical students interested in research may pursue a Research and Scholarly Advancement Fellowship (RSAF) or a combined DO/PhD degree. Research opportunities are available for third and fourth year medical students.

The Department of Biomedical Sciences supports several state-of-the-art research facilities in the Life Sciences Building, Konneker Research Center, Biochemistry Research Facility, Irvine Hall, and the new Academic & Research Center.

In-house research infrastructure includes transmission and scanning electron microscope suites, quantitative microscopy that includes laser-scanning confocal capabilities, the Ohio University (OU) Genomics, OU microCT, NMR, and mass spectrophotometry facilities, AAALC-accredited animal holding facilities, comparative biomechanics and fossil preparation laboratories, and numerous comparative botanical, zoological and paleontology collections.
