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.

The interests of Biomedical Sciences faculty encompass a broad range of research themes in biological and biomedical sciences. These diverse faculty interests are organized into three focus groups: 1) Ecology & Evolutionary Biology via the Ohio Center for Ecology and Evolutionary Studies, 2) Integrative and Regulatory Biology, and 3) Cell, Developmental and Microbiology. 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.

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 (scheduled to open in January 2010).

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.
