University of California Berkeley
Doctor of Philosophy in Integrative Biology
The Doctor of Philosophy in Integrative Biology in Biology is offered by University of California Berkeley.
The University of California Berkeley (UCB) offers a doctoral program that dives deep into biological phenomena at every level.
Biological phenomena occur at various levels of structural organization, ranging from molecules to organisms, and from populations to the global ecosystem. Integrative Biology takes a whole-organism approach, extending from the genome and proteome through organismal traits (phenotypes), to communities and ecosystems.
Through the coordinated study of multiple levels of biological organization over a broad range of spatial and temporal scales, Integrative Biology offers a unique approach to understanding fundamental questions concerning the evolution and maintenance of biological diversity, including organismal form and function, and ecological and ecosystem processes.
This multidimensional approach underpins the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Integrative Biology graduate program, where students combine observational, experimental, and comparative approaches with the development of theory; and apply concepts and techniques from the biological sciences and other disciplines.
