in the Classroom
Teaching
The Biology and Wildlife Department is located in the Margaret Murie Building with
state-of-the art classrooms and laboratories where students engage in inquiry-based
learning and are challenged to pursue their own research passion in a capstone experience.
in the Field
Research
UAF is America’s Arctic University. Students and faculty in the Biology and Wildlife
Department are at the forefront of documenting and understanding the changing Arctic
– its people, plants, animals, and landscape.
in the Community
Outreach
Teaching and research in the Biology and Wildlife Department are intertwined and embedded
within the Alaskan communities where we work. Faculty and students endeavor to improve
the lives of Alaskans – from developing diet interventions to minimize chronic disease,
to understanding how climate change is impacting subsistence resources.
WHERE RESEARCH HAPPENS
UAF is Alaska’s premier research university and the only PhD-granting institution in the state. Research in the Department of Biology and Wildlife spans the breadth of the biological sciences, from molecular biology to ecosystem science. Investigating emerging viral pathogens, microbes that detoxify environmental contaminants, the molecular genetics of obesity and diabetes, impacts of climate change on polar organisms and ecosystems, and more, our faculty work alongside graduate, undergraduate and high school students to address key issues of vital interest to Alaska and beyond.
