About the Department
Located in the state-of-the-art Richard J. Renaud Science Complex on Concordia's Loyola Campus, our departmental community consists of over 25 full-time faculty members, and dozens of part-time and affiliated faculty members with a broad area of expertise and interests.
Collaborative, high quality research
In the Department, our research fields are grouped into two broad areas of biology:
- Ecology
- Cellular or molecular biology
Both groups are well funded by external research grants, either from federal or provincial governments, or from industry. Our faculty members are engaged in research in collaborative environments involving internal, external and international collaborations.
Hands-on courses and lab experiences
We offer over 60 Biology undergraduate and graduate courses, in subjects such as cell biology, genetics, genomics, biotechnology, organismal biology, ecology, evolution and conservation biology.
From your first lab to advanced projects, students spend time in well-equipped, spacious teaching labs as well as computer labs to build practical skills in areas like biostatistics and bioinformatics.
