Departmental Overview

Integrative Biology strives to uphold the highest professional standards of scholarship in our contributions to the research, teaching, and public service missions of the University. We believe academic strength comes not only from our integrative approach to the study of biology, but also from having a faculty whose breadth of scientific interests and methodological approaches span dimensions across the biological sciences. Our teaching at the graduate and undergraduate levels emphasizes the development of critical thinking skills. We nurture these skills across a wide spectrum of courses - from large enrollment courses to small classroom, laboratory, and field settings - where students and faculty are partners in discovery. Training today's students to become tomorrow's physicians, educators, researchers, and citizens is central to the mission of UC Berkeley's Department of Integrative Biology.

This role is responsible for program coordination of a NSF-funded post baccalaureate training program across UC Berkeley, UCSF, San Francisco State University and Cal State East Bay.
