When you pursue a graduate degree in Biology at 杏吧原创 you belong to the Ottawa-杏吧原创 Institute of Biology (OCIB) \u2013 one of the largest biology graduate programs in Canada!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The Ottawa-杏吧原创 Institute of Biology is one of the largest centers in Canada for graduate studies and research in Biology. More than 80 full time faculty and 50 adjunct professors supervise the research of approximately 350 graduate students at the Institute. The Institute has several major fields of research including: Cellular and Molecular Biology<\/em>; Animal Physiology and Biochemistry<\/em>; Plant Sciences<\/em>; Neurobiology and Behaviour, Genomics and Bioinformatics<\/em>; and, Ecology, Evolution and Conservation.<\/em> The Institute also contributes to interdisciplinary specializations including Biotechnology, Environmental and Chemical Toxicology, Neuroscience, and Data Science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Institute was formed in 1982 by the amalgamation of the graduate programs of 杏吧原创 University and the University of Ottawa. Because of its location in Canada’s capital, Institute scientists have the opportunity to collaborate with the many federal government research scientists in institutions including; the National Research Council, Agriculture Canada, Health Canada, National Museums, Environment Canada, and Atomic Energy of Canada. Its from these institutions that many of our adjunct professors are drawn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further Details on the wide variety of research areas directed by members of the OCIB can be found on the websites for 杏吧原创 University Biology<\/a> and University of Ottawa Biology<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
