Integrative Biology @ Georgia Tech

During the last three decades, research in biology has been incredibly specialized, with a focus on understanding the function of individual cells, organisms, and populations. The future of biological research will be characterized more by integration than specialization.

Research in the School of Biology is generally integrative, but with three general areas of research focus:

The School also is a central partner in the new Institute for Bioengineering and Biosciences and the new Environmental Science and Technology Building.

Faculty in the School of Biology are leaders in several cross-departmental programs, such as environmental systems microbiology and computational biology and bioinformatics. These cross-departmental programs facilitate the integration of various areas of modern biology with existing strengths at Georgia Tech in engineering and computer science.
