| The
research interests of the Biomedical Sciences
faculty encompass a broad spectrum of disciplines
including molecular biology and gene regulation,
virology, tropical disease, toxicology,
pharmacology, microbiology, cell and developmental
biology, physiology, endocrinology, functional
morphology and evolutionary biology. These diverse
faculty interests are organized into three
interdepartmental research focus groups: 1)
Ecology & Evolutionary Biology, 2)
Integrative and Regulatory Biology, and 3)
Cell, Development and Microbiology.

Graduate students have
the opportunity to pursue MS or Ph.D. degrees
through the interdepartmental graduate programs in
Biological Sciences,
Molecular and Cellular Biology,
or
Chemistry and Biochemistry.
Medical students interested in research have the
opportunity to work towards a
combined D.O./Ph.D. degree.
The program of study is flexible and customized to
the goals of individual students. Graduate training
generally consists of a combination of lecture-based
and laboratory-based coursework, independent
laboratory research projects, attendance at the
quarterly seminar series and participation in weekly
laboratory research meetings and journal clubs for
the exchange of ideas.
The Department of Biomedical Sciences supports
several state-of-the-art research facilities,
including transmission and scanning electron
microscope suites, a quantitative microscopy and
imaging facility with a laser scanning confocal
microscope, cryostats, ultracentrifuges, a
phosphorimager, gel documentation centers, nucleic
acid sequencing facilities, a NMR facility, a mass
spectrophotometry facility, AAALC-accredited animal
holding facilities, comparative biomechanics lab and
a hybridoma laboratory. Ohio University Libraries
provide outstanding on-campus and on-line services.
The Ohio University campus, situated at the
foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, is a
picturesque setting that offers numerous
opportunities for outdoor recreation including
hiking and swimming at several nearby state parks,
an on-campus nine-hole golf course, indoor and
outdoor tennis courts, a state-of-the-art recreation
facility and a 17-mile Rails-to-Trails bike path. |
